Read the comments in Chronicle Herald in Internet below.  It was in response 
of flying ants in Halifax.  Any truth in it?

"Flying ants are not natural species to Nova Scotia. They were introduced by 
local sport ant hunters who determined the native, ground-walking Nova 
Scotia ants were too easy to catch in the 1970s. They have been known to 
breed with the Northern wild ant, thus creating a hybrid-type that appears 
unafraid of humans and can act unpredictably"
