Should this guy lose his job

[Eddie Teach]

Some terms I've used without realizing they were Canuckisms, e.g. keener and eavestrough.   

Never heard of those.

The only ones I've heard or seen non-Canadians use are brewsky, toboggan and chinook.

Wait, so the guy who got fired is the guy who says it to the journalist at the beginning of the video or the one who later explains the "meme" to her?

The second/latter dude.

Edit: Viewing the video again, there are three dudes.  The dude #1 does the initial vulgar interuption, then quickly vanishes.  Reporter turns on dude #2, who was just standing there (as I understand, she had overhead them planning to do the same thing), then dude #3 explains/supports the vulgar interjection(the "vibrator in the ear" dude)...and that is the dude who is most notably identified and fired from his job.

It helps if you've played, or even watched, at least one sport in your life.

AYSO, baby! Besides, I did break my arm playing baseball.

[Malthus]

I only got 17. 

I blame my immigrant status though.

Many of them are regional use only ("bunny hug"? WTF? Also, in Toronto, no-one uses "parkade"); some are simply wrong ("Brown noser" = all of the above)

Then I don't really think the guy should have been fired. Sure, he acts like a douchebag but then drunk sports fan are douchebags and he probably thought he is being funny/cocky. He was not self-identifying as an employee of his company or giving any indication of his affiliation with the company - it's just a bunch of vindictive cunts who identified him as such afterwards. It would have sufficient to discipline him internally and "remind him of the company's media policy" or some such.

I had a tough time with the ones non-hockey related. Or not related to cities with hockey teams.

Yes, got both those wrong. Parkade? We just say "underground parking"

Yes. The first guy is still being looked for. The second guy, in the sunglasses, has been outed, but, as of yet, not fired. The guy fired is the guy in the yellow arsenal shirt going on about how women seem to have vibrators in their ears in England.

Oh sorry. I thought they fired the guy in the sunglasses. I don't think he should be fired.

That's interesting, thanks.

I find it particularly of interest (perhaps even bizarre) that an employee's rights seem to depend on whether he is a member of a union or not. Here (and I believe in most EU member states), the rules for firing an employee are the same for union and non-union members (with the exception of union leaders who get special job protection), but furthermore while a union is authorised to negotiate a better deal with the employer on behalf of employees, once they do so, the terms of the deal apply to all employees, not just members of the union. Giving special rights to union members would be seen as discrimination of the worst kind (in fact our anti-discrimination regulations expressly ban discrimination because of membership in a union or lack thereof).

[The Brain]

  A union that gets people a better deal? If I were union I would still live like a coolie.

Lol, That was pointed out by at least three people at the beginning of this thread.  And then you said they were wrong
