The New York ticket will show up as if it's been committed in Ontario. Speeding is a charge that can be transferred. You will receive the equivalent Ontario demerit points as if you had committed the violation here. 50+ will remain speeding and 6 demerit points, but I don't believe you'd receive the 7-day licence suspension.

Traffic offences outside Ontario that will add demerit points:

Speeding

Failure to obey a stop sign

Failure to obey a signal light

Failure to stop for a school bus

Racing

Failing to remain at or return to the scene of an collision

Careless driving


Criminal offences outside Ontario that will result in a suspension:

Vehicular manslaughter

Criminal negligence

Dangerous driving

Failure to remain at the scene of a collision

Impaired driving

Driving while disqualified or prohibited
