If you consider that there's a shade of orange that goes into Canada at the MN/NWO border, then I suppose that's how you count four, but there's actually only three, because that's the same color as southern Ontario, even though it's detached from it from a Canadian POV on the map.

Well, now we're talking about colours on a silly map that suggests that St. Louis is in the same "region" as Toronto, so these are all grains of salt. While it's clear that southern Ontario has always been a vital economic cog in the midwest/Great Lakes region, it's pretty far-fetched to think of Montreal, Ottawa and Quebec City as part of the Bos-Wash corridor aka Northeast.
If anything, as part of the Quebec-Windsor corridor it would make more sense to link Montreal, Ottawa and Quebec City up to southern Ontario and by extension the Great Lakes region than it would be to include it as part of the northeast.
