Winnipeg might be the exception then? It has been my experience that unless you're going to see family/do something outdoorsy or specific to the region, that people tend to leave the smaller city/town to go to a bigger one.
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.
