The Captain has every right to operate the aircraft as is seen proper within the constraints of the Air Navigation Act. Please review the CAR 224 for an appraisal of what the Captain can and cannot do. As a Co-pilot, you have no "rights" to anything.
1988 NO. 158 CIVIL AVIATION REGULATIONS - REG 224
Pilot in command
224. (1) For each flight the operator shall designate one pilot to act as pilot in command.

(2) In addition to being responsible for the operation and safety of the aircraft during flight time, the pilot in command shall be responsible for the safety of persons and cargo carried and for the conduct and safety of the members of the crew.

(3) The pilot in command shall have final authority as to the disposition of the aircraft while he or she is in command and for the maintenance of discipline by all persons on board.
I see you interpret "final" as "every". Maybe you are, as you yourself suggested, "an old pr!ck"
