The phrase, "It's an ill wind that blows no good," didn't originate with Shakespeare. Although he used it in Henry IV, Part II, it was used as a common proverb at least a century before he was born.
Its meaning is that even the worst calamity benefits someone, somehow.

And as, usual, Voldemort is trying to use it for his own benefit.
If Voldemort can threaten tariffs because of Canadian wildfire smoke, I suggest that Canada tariff the U.S. for sending their hurricanes to us.
They're both a lot of misdirected hot air.
