Were fall foliage leaf colors in Canada also delayed in autumn 2021?

English is not my first language. I didn't fully grok this National Geographic article published November 24 2021 by Sarah Gibbens. But it discusses just the eastern U.S.A., NOT Canada. How ever what about fall foliage in Canada in 2021? Also delayed?

The sub heading is

Throughout the eastern U.S., fall colors arrived behind schedule, which scientists say is a sign of things to come.

In the middle

From Vermont to North Carolina, fall foliage appeared behind schedule this year—continuing a long-term trend that, according to one recent study of maples by researchers at George Mason University, has pushed the appearance of fall colors back more than a month since the 19th century.

New England and eastern Canada are closely connected. The same general weather patterns will be in both, and the trees don't know where the border is. You mention Vermont, but the climate isn't suddenly different when you step from northern Vermont into Quebec. Going east from Maine into New Brunswick should be even less different.
