It's from Southern Ontario and about the size of a palm. Also VERY fast moving.

A palm tree? Oh just kidding. But I am quite surprised how big these spiders get.

This looks like Dolomedes tenebrosus, one of the largest fishing/dock/nursery web spiders (family Pisauridae) in Canada - see http://tinyurl.com/cxfeaf for an image and more information.
