In Ottawa, Fisher owned several cannabis dispensaries called My Legacy before being evicted. In his human rights complaint, Fisher claimed the Ottawa Police Service sent a letter to Fisher’s landlord of a Dalhousie Street location, threatening fines and potential imprisonment, and asking for consent to search the store. In the letter, the police said that “the traditional territory at issue… remains subject to all applicable provincial laws … and the OPS requires that those laws be observed,” according to court documents.
