I could see how the US border would impair people from going north to Winnipeg - a lot of Americans do not have passports and won't bother with the hassle of getting one to go to Winnipeg. Easier just to go to Minneapolis.

Winnipeg may be the exception to the rule. Most other major Canadian cities have a larger American city not too far away that they have a degree to integration with or they are too far from the border (like Alberta and Saskatchewan's principal cities) to have any relevant cross-border integration.
I'm sure a good number of Winnipeggers have been to Grand Forks more times than they've been to Regina, the nearest Canadian CMA.
