I'd say the St. Lawrence is definitely a big deal. It's there in the literature, songs, movies, TV shows, folklore, etc.
In general, francophone Canadian culture is much more "geographically rooted" than anglophone Canadian culture.
It's one of the biggest things I noticed when I had my personal "awakening" when as a young adult I transitioned from a primarily anglophone Canadian identity to a francophone Québécois one.
