The male immediately after mating. Note that one embolus (on the left of the image) has been lost leaving behind a stump of a palp. Presumably the tip of the amputated palp is still in the female. (The previous image showing the male entering the females retreat clearly shows that both palps were intact at that stage).

I assume these are grass spiders, Agelenopsis but it seems that identifying grass spiders is not easy, however according to the web site ‘Araignées du Québec’ (http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Araign%C3%A9es_du_Qu%C3%A9bec) there are four species of Agelenopsis known or suspected (asterisk) to occur in Quebec:-A. actuosa (Gertsch & Ivie, 1936) *, A. emertoni (Chamberlin & Ivie, 1935) * ,A. potteri (Blackwall, 1846), A. utahana (Chamberlin & Ivie, 1933). I would be happy to leave it as an Agelenopsis but is it possible to distinguish these possibilities from photos?
