Anti-union industry is vast.
You have advisors that have preprepared media statements, threats, worker conditioning propaganda, etc.
But ultimately it’s the govs issue not to enforce the law.
Comment on Ubisoft Closes Canadian Studio After It Unionizes

Right… They closed it as a “cost-cutting measure” and “not because the studio unionized”. This is where the lawmakers are just letting everyone know that they are garbage to be walked all over. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize that “cost-cutting” a studio that just unionized is because they unionized, because a union means they have to start paying their workers their fair share, which means “higher costs” to them, when it should’ve been like that from the start.

When the butchers at a single Walmart successfully formed a tiny union, Walmart responded by firing every butcher in every store in the company and switching to pre-packaged meats only.

How does this sort of thing usually get handled in Canada anyway?

A lot of the reasons unions form in the USA are mitigated by Canadian labour laws. So you generally only see them in large work forces such as government employees, school teachers, and trades. People already get severance pay based on length of employment for getting fired without cause. If you’re laid off you can get EI (60% wages from gov’t).
So to answer your question… nothing probably -though I am speculating. Unless they did something egregious they likely broke no laws.
