That's a load of Canadian BS. You must have a cow-chip on your shoulder. May I remind you that Lake Michigan is entirely within US boundaries.
The low-flow Chicago River which turns into the Sanitary and Ship Canal is sealed off from Lake Michigan with a navigation lock. A small controlled flow of 44 cubic meters per second is diverted out of Lake Michigan. By contrast, 5,796 cubic meters per second pass through the Niagra River and that doesn't even include the watershed of Lake Ontario and the St Lawrence River. As you can see, it is insignificant.
The amount of water that flows from Lake Michigan into the Mississippi has no effect on either level. On top of that, the Sanitary and Barge Canal hasn't seen any commercial traffic in decades. It is a recreational waterway. Perhaps we should cover all the Great Lakes with tarps to reduce evaporation.
In 2005, a joint US-Canadian commission was set up to monitor and control invasive marine species.
