Well nothing against the topic, but I have seen some other regional topics moved.

As for competing across borders, only those with means [[cars / education ) can participate in that. I don't think Windsor is going to steal any minimum wage workers from the Det. metro region because of a raise of their minimum wage.

Besides, post-9/11 border security would make that highly unlikely.
