If I get a chance I'll try to take some pictures of the chelicerae on this one. They're enlarged and angle from front to back. A bit of that is visible in your picture.

Microlinyphia mandibulata
Current as of 05 - Feb - 2012 Sask. Taxa list for invertebrates http://www.biodiversity.sk.ca/Docs/inverts.pdf
M. impigra, M. mandibulata, M. pusilla are off the list.
Edit. I changed the name from Ground spider (not ant mimic) to Sheetweb spider.
