Context

Baltimore's mid-Atlantic location places it far from the Canadian border. The nearest border crossing is actually in northern Pennsylvania (I-79 to Erie, then NY/ON), but Windsor remains the closest major Canadian urban center due to the Detroit-Windsor corridor's direct highway access.

For Baltimore residents seeking Canadian travel, flying to Toronto (YYZ) or Detroit (DTW) then crossing is usually more practical than driving to Windsor.
