How The Wildfires Across Canada Are Affecting America

The largest town in Canada's Northern Quebec region is being evacuated as more than 150 forest fires burn in the province, with more than 110 of them deemed out of control. Smoke from the intense wildfires are blanketing eastern Canada and the north east of America, with effects felt as far away as New York City and the state of New England.
