There's this little part of Washington state called Point Roberts that's only accessable through Canada. It might as well just be part of Canada.
I've been to Washington, but not Point Roberts though. I've just heard about it before. This thread just made me think about it. I'm assuming it might be a contender for this.
It seems like their existence is fully dependent on Vancouverans seeking cheaper gas and other supplies, so if not culturally they are definitely connected financially.
The question is: "Which part of the U.S had the most ties or cultural influence from Canada?" "Had", past tense, meaning it used to have the "most ties or cultural influence from Canada" but doesn't any longer. I would say New Orleans. [Edit: well, actually, New Orleans and its environs]

I don't think the point is "This villiage of 343 is pretty similar to Canada", but more like the whole region shares a culture with Canada.
New England is very similar to the Maritimes and Quebec.
Western NY is fairly similar to Southern Ontario, moreso than Michigan is.
Buffalo and Hamilton are very similar.
Montreal and Boston sort of "Share" the White Mountains of the Lakes of NH/ME as summer colonies. For the most part, New England north of the Mass Pike or so is more connected to Montreal or Nova Scotia than it is to NYC or south and west.
I could look out of my grandparents kitchen window in Eastport Maine and see Campobello Island, my great grandparents were illegal aliens from St. Stephen N.B.
Minnesota, Michigan....... hockey check, funny accent check, cold weather check, Tim hortons check, more liberal outlook check, polite reserved nature check, heck they could be provinces. Most of em watch so much hockey they can sing the Canadian national them.
Upper New York has some of these same qualities too from what I have been told, just maybe without the midwestern reservedness.
I divided the states that border Canada into different tiers. Each tier is not necessarily in order, I am kind of divided on my choices.
Tier I
1. Washington State (large population near each other)
2. New York State (large populations near each other, popular tourist destination for Canadians)
3. Michigan (large populations near each other)
4. Maine (small populations near each, tourist destination for Canadians)
Tier II
Minnesota
Vermont (tourist destination for Canadians)
North Dakota
Alaska
Tier III
New Hampshire (tourist destination for Canadians)
Montana
Maine and Vermont are probably the only two US states that are heavily influenced from Canada due to the fact that in the past thousands of French Canadians have migrated to those states. There are even parts of Maine that still primarily speak French.
