I did mention there were plenty around the country, but I used to live around the Essex County area. The border towns will always be more supportive because they generally have stronger business/economic relationships with the US. It’s really more of a hostage situation, because manufacturing (huge automotive sector, mainly) wants their metals and gets hit harder during Tariff Tantrums.
Plenty of folks also cross over to stores when the exchange rate is good, families might visit each other, someone’ll skip SCC or UoW to go to U Michigan, etc. No loud minority with Premier support begging to split from Canada though, last I heard.
Then once you leave the city proper, there just aren’t many people around 'til you hit, say, Chatham.
And for what it’s worth… despite Ford’s long run, Windsor itself used to be very Liberal/NDP (something like 60% between the two) until very recently.
