Not true, the old city of Chatham is very much in Detroit's orbit, not quite to the degree that Windsor/Essex are, but it still is. They receive Detroit tv and radio stations, shop and visit regularly, the Detroit Freepress is sold locally, and it's less than an hour from the city.
Sarnia and area is also pretty connected to SE Michigan, but less so than Windsor/Essex. The three extreme Southwestern Ontario counties are the most connected to SE Michigan, after that, the influence peters out quickly.
