Surprisingly, no. Though the Buffalo areas' ports of entry draw about as much cross-border traffic as Detroit (but not including Port Huron-Sarnia also in Michigan), Toronto's proximity to Buffalo is not often felt. A few trade and investment groups have been working in the last 15 years to attract Canadian companies to Buffalo with good success, but largely Canada's influence grows towards Michigan and approaching Chicago, and it's the US' influence that grows along the Niagara border into Canada's Greater Toronto area.
