[Talk-ca] coastline between Montreal and Sorel, Quebec

[Charles Basenga Kiyanda]

I'm fine with that consensus. We confirmed with the person who reverted the previous edit that there was no specific rule being enforced. That mapper just thought it looked wrong.

I have a rather free day tomorrow so I'm happy to fix the st-lawrence section between Montreal and Sorel to tag it as natural=coastline.

Hopefully this should be fine for all.

Cheers,

Charles
