Why Did Drake and Lil Wayne Snub Toronto?

Drake and Lil Wayne Toronto Concert?
It's a well known fact that Drake is from the city of Toronto in Ontario, Canada.  For each of his tours, he always has a concert in Toronto, some times, he performs multiple shows as well. 

This time around, there is no show scheduled for Toronto.  The closest scheduled show to the city of Toronto on the Drake vs Lil Wayne tour is right outside of Buffalo, New York.  The driving time from Toronto to Buffalo is approximately 3 hours depending on routes and traffic.  You can bet that tons of Toronto fans will make the journey to Buffalo to see the show, however, why didn't they just book the concert at one of the many venues in Toronto?

The Buffalo show is the first on the tour schedule and is being held at the Darien Lake Performing Arts Center in Darien Lake, New York.  Form there, the rappers head south to Indiana and do not make any tour stops in Canada at all. The concert is going to be on August 8th at 7:00 pm.

Toronto is one of the most deserving cities of a Drake concert because of the overwhelming support for a singer of their own.  Hopefully for the sake of Toronto, Drake and Lil Wayne decide to add a date in Toronto and possibly more Canadian cities.
