In response to the cease and desist letter from Ms. Natalie McFarlane, representing Northern Green Cannabis Inc., it is imperative to set the record straight. The individual implicated in the alleged incident was operating under the license of Northern Green Cannabis Inc., situated in Brampton, Ontario at the time of the incident in question. This fact is not only accurate but crucial in understanding the context of the events.
