Does the US pay for maintenance on the Welland?
Canada pays for and operates pretty much the entire seaway minus the two American locks.
Only once Canada decided to build the seaway without the USA did the Americans realize it was probably a bad idea to have the entire inland passage to North America controlled by another country, and so finally got onboard with Canada’s insistence to build the seaway.

Have to admit Canada was persistent on the Seaway being completed.
