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](https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/article/fall-foliage-disrupted-by-climate-change-might-be-new-normal?utm_source=pocket-newtab) published November 24 2021 by Sarah Gibbens. **But it discusses just the eastern U.S.A., NOT Canada.** How ever ***what about [fall foliage](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autumn_leaf_color) 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](https://matttsweatherrapport.blogspot.com/2021/10/later-foliage-seasons-and-pollys.html) to [North Carolina](https://blueridgemountainlife.com/fall-foliage/#tab-con-14), 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.
