Whole foods can get fucked, but I don't think he can legally do that. As paradoxical as it sounds, whole foods has the freedom to express or not express opinions on remembrance day through their dress policies. Their employees do too, but not while they're on Whole Food's time, because they made an agreement to adhere to Whole Food's dress policy in exchange for money. Employees are legally allowed to violate that agreement and put a poppy on but if they do Whole Foods is under no obligation to uphold their end of that agreement and keep paying them (i.e. they can be fired).
It's actually the same logic by which Quebec has banned their provincial employees from wearing hijabs and other religious garb. You have the legal right to wear that shit if you want, but if you make a deal with an employer and you say "I agree to adhere to your dress policy (among other things) in exchange for wages", then you have to uphold your end of that bargain, otherwise they can stop paying you wages (by firing you for breach of contract).

They don't have to uphold their end of the contract if you don't uphold yours, which means they can terminate your employment if you insist on wear that stuff.
