Marginal difference though, because once it's built, it's there. Gazillions of tons of Prairie grain from your home neck of the woods managed to make their way by rail to the Great Lakes and then on to Western Europe despite Canada not having Duluth.
It would have been nice for Canada to have more land (especially since as MonctonRad pointed out, the U.S. would barely have noticed, while for us that new strip of land would be among our choicest), but it doesn't change anything in terms of access to water for transportation purposes.
