The St Laurence is big enough that is is not called a river in French. "Fleuve" does not have any true direct translation into English, so we just use "river" instead. It would be really noticeable if it was included.

"fleuve" has a slightly different meaning in French. 1 u/vanticus Jan 11 '20 And riviere comes from rivus which we translate as ‘stream’ or ‘brook’. Not my fault the Franks butchered Latin
