looks like Enaphalodes atomarius
There is a great website for Florida longhorns - from that, I'd say Enaphalodes atomarius - this is a bit on the small side. I just realized, this isn't from Canada - vacation photo?

Thanks for the link
to the Florida longhorns, Phillip. I scanned through them all and especially like the looks of Anelaphus inermis here, with the pale spots on its pronotum, and the contrast between dark pronotum and paler elytra (I lightened the above photo to show this better). The size (11-18 mm) is a good fit too.

agreed
that is a better match - good. The antennomeres are much clearer in the lightened photo.
