@EdwinG@mstdn.moimeme.ca The management of St0Lawrence river was changed after the big 2017 floods with a decision to keep the lakes are higher but stable level. If they agreed to release more water they could raise levels at Dorion/Beauharnois which would reduce how much fo Ottaw ariver flows into St0-Lawrence here and send more water down the Rivière des Prairies and Milles Iles.

And the stable water level of the St-Larence west of Beauharnois/les Cèdres means ships have no problems but would between Beauharnois and Somewhere betwen Trois Rivières and Québec where tides starts to control water level.
