Is this against the law?

My jurisdiction is: Canada

Here goes -- it's a bit lengthy.

I gave my 2 weeks notice to my employer. I was one of many to have done so in the past 6 months. A couple hours after giving my notice, i was called into the boss' office along with 3 other co-workers and accused of management hearing us talk about something we weren't suppose to. We were all very confused, and he went on to yell at us, and saying things like he's so mad, and swearing. He kept on yelling and swearing and i asked him what was overheard, and he wouldn't tell us. He just kept going on about how mad he was.

Again i informed him that I don't recall saying anything i wasn't suppose to and that i would like to know the reason for this yelling and screaming. He still did not give me a reason. Another one of my co-workers that was in the room also informed him that we did not know what he was talking about and that we needed to know the reason for us four being called in. He kept yelling about how mad he was.

So he finally said that he's going to put on my record of employment that I'm not suitable for rehire. And made his assistant escort me and another co-worker out of the building and told us we weren't aloud back. This was very humiliating and not warranted. He did not give us any reason for this outburst and no reason for the black mark on our ROE. I've been an exceptional employee, and only 4 months ago i received a $500 bonus for being such a great employee. Does he have the right to do this to me? He doesn't have any reason for what he's done and i feel personally I should be given the right to defend myself or at least have the decency to tell me why I'm being escorted 2 weeks early with a bad rep on my ROE.

What rights do i have regarding this matter?
 
You have the right to find other employment. It may not be fair, but nothing he did violates any laws or provides you with legal recourse.

You *may* be eligible for unemployment for the two weeks you would have worked. It can't hurt to apply.
 
If he believes you are not eligible for rehire, he is allowed to write that. There are no laws that directly address eligibility for rehire. There are some employers who will never rehire anyone, for any reason. I worked for one such company - they took that stance for complicated reasons relating to non-disclosure agreements but it came down to the same thing. Many employers understand this. A single "ineligible for rehire" is hardly going to "ruin your entire future".
