Yes and no.
What would make more sense is a shaded area over Ottawa where it's partly in Montreal's colour, and partly in Toronto's colour.
But once you get past the outskirts of Ottawa going east (or even cross the river going north into Gatineau), Toronto and the Golden Horseshoe don't exert that much influence anymore.
Montreal-Quebec City as part of a single megalopolis with Toronto as its heart doesn't make much sense.
