Canada Wildfires Reach US | Tens Of Millions Under Air Quality Warnings As Fires Burn In Canada Tens of millions of people in North America have woken up to dangerous air quality levels as intense wildfires burn across Canada. Smoke blanketed large areas of Ontario and Quebec, while an orange haze hung over much of the north-eastern US through Tuesday and into Wednesday. Some cities including Toronto and New York briefly had the worst air quality in the world overnight. Much of the smoke is coming from Quebec, where 160 fires are burning. Canadian officials say the country is shaping up for its worst wildfire season on record. Experts have pointed to a warmer and drier spring than normal as the reason behind the trend. These conditions are projected to continue throughout the summer. #canadawildfires #canadafire #worldnews n18oc_news
