These things are kind of “broken telephone” chains of economic connectedness.
Toronto has economic ties with Detroit because of the auto industry;
Detroit has economic ties to cities further west in Michigan;
The westernmost Michigan cities kind of fall into Chicago’s orbit
Milwaukee has definite ties to Chicago.
What’s the value of Milwaukee-Toronto trade? Probably no different than trade between another city pair of 1.5 M -6 M+ on opposite sides of the continent in two different countries.
So, like the volume of trade between Ottawa and Houston or Edmonton and Miami.
