Dallas surpassed Toronto quite recently, by the mid-2010's, so it's increasing the distance.

Commute rates between Kitchener and Toronto are incredibly low. Someone posted here once and it's about 3% or so whereas the US threshold for CSA is 15% and for MSA 25%.
They're almost 120 km a part, that's almost Chicago and Milwaukee or New York and Philadelphia, but with much less sprawl and people than the American ones. Even adding Guelph was a bit generous.
Greater Golden Horseshoe is not a metro area, not even by a very broader definition. It's a region, like Southern California or Northern California (meaning San Francisco+Stockton+Sacramento metro areas).
