Sweet video. Is this mast purely cosmetic? 

I think so too cause no falsework was required to install it , just like the mast on St-Jacques .

Je passe devant tous les matins. Il semblerait y avoir plusieurs points d'ancrage un peu partout sur la structure. Je suis curieux de savoir à quoi cela va servir.

The  construction worker in the video on page 235 states at 1:02 minutes that the pylon for the St-Jacques viaduct supports 75% of its final weight, however. There was also temporary bracing under the viaduct that was removed after the cables were installed.

I think its logical to assume that the canal bridge's pylon will also support part of its final weight, even if the percentage isn't quite as high as for the St-Jacques viaduct.

I'm sorry to report that according to the MTQ website, Verendrye towards 15S will only open in 2020: https://www.turcot.transports.gouv.qc.ca/fr/travaux/travaux-en-cours/secteur-sud/Pages/default.aspx

Bonne nouvelle !    Mieux vaut tard que jamais...

The fact that the structure is self supporting does not mean that it can take extra loads from passing vehicles. It's been stated that the cables on the St-Jacques Bridge will be bearing a significant part of the weight.
