That would obviously change the economic numbers [[and add 350,000 people). Windsor economy depends heavily on ours and that never gets counted, either. Could also make a case for Toledo...

According to Wikipedia, Metro Detroit CSA [[which the above study mentioned metro, so I assume it wasn't counted) includes Ann Arbor, and is 5,350 some square miles. Minneapolis-St. Paul's MSA is like 1,000 square miles larger than even that. Perhaps I'm overreaching, just a thought. I'm no economist.
