My boss was paying me less than minimum wage. I made a complaint to my local employment standards office. Now he has fired me. Can he do this?

No, your employer is not supposed to fire you for making a complaint about labour standards. This is called an unjust dismissal. Your employer may be committing an offence for which he could be fined. If the Director of Employment Standards investigates this matter and finds it to be a valid complaint, your employer may be ordered to reinstate you or pay you compensation or both.
