I know this isn't what you are originally asking for, but other than YFC, there are quite a few places along the eclipse belt with favourable weather forecast, and are just a short drive from GTA, such as the south shore of Lake Erie, and Brockville/Cornwall area. Montreal and Eastern Townships in Quebec are also forecasted to have sunny weather.
My plan was Ft Erie but latest guidance isn't great.
PivotalWeather has a great site of ensemble forecasts, regularly upated.

I'm thinking Montreal, but its on the edge and only about 1 minute 25 seconds of totality (compared to 4 minutes Buffalo) ... and to get south of there will involve horrendous traffic.
Kingston via Via is an option.
