I don't think they can, because FC Edmonton's owners have exclusive rights over the Edmonton area.
My interpretation of the whole situation is that back in 2018 when CPL was coming on board they needed FC Edmonton for the league to launch, so they bent over a bit to convince them to come on board (even though NASL collapsed around Edmonton). CPL would have done the same for the Fury but the Fury refused to come on board and Atletico Ottawa was able to be launched without any challenge.
