Cossoninae of sorts(?)
My first thought was Dryophthorus americanus, but I do not think that species is that far west. Looks like it might be Cossonus proper, or a closely-related genus.

Dryophthorus americanus
Sure looks like Dryophthorus americanus but I have not heard of one out that far west.

Interesting....
Surely looks like Dryophthorus though according to the Canadian checklist D. americanus has not been recorded west of Manitoba. Is there a host tree preference? I should add that it was found in a hardwood log, most probably alder (Alnus).

looks like a textbook Dryophthorus
however surprising, must be it; links to this and the other weevil sent to Bob Anderson

Good
Dryophthorus was my first impression! I hope it turns out to be that :-)
