This was NYC on June 7 at 2PM. Is it as bad as this?
Canada is targeting Florida!!

If you're at Walt Disney World this week, you may have noticed hazy conditions yesterday and into today. The haze is caused by fires in Canada

I do not think anything could compare to that week. I saw readings in the 400 range compounded by our summer dose of ozone. The last week in June was almost as bad.
WDW is much further from the Canadian boarder. This is concerning.

Very concerning, for sure.

The particulate matter readings more than 1000 miles from the source have been deemed unhealthy.
The human lungs are not designed to filter particulate matter. Generally, once something goes in, it does not come out. The source of the particles is unimportant: tobacco smoke, coal dust, baby powder, asbestos, or wildfire smoke. It is all bad.

This reminds me of the wild fires near orlando but those at least you got a good bbq smell. This is just canada passing wind and leaving us with a nasty brown mess to deal with.

Yeah, most of the northern half of the country dealt with the same or worse all summer. If you're healthy and limit time outdoors, it isn't a big deal.
