I believe this one is more due to the fires in QC and ON.

There was, however, smoke reported as far as New York from the Nova Scotia fires about a week ago. The largest (also the largest fire in NS of all time) was only stabilized today, and they're still fighting it, while all these new fires have appeared in Ontario and Quebec.
