Hi Jeannie,

Yes it is a weevil, to whit the so-called "poplar and willow borer",  
Cryptorhynchus lapathi (Linnaeus), a large and distinctive Holarctic  
(occurring in North America and Eurasia) weevil in the subfamily  
Cryptorhynchinae. There is further information on this species at:

http://www.for.gov.bc.ca/hfp/publications/00198/poplar_and_willow_borer.htm
http://www.forestpests.org/poplar/willowborer.html

And good photos at:

http://www.bkmakro.de/Makro/images/Kaefer/Cryptorhynchus%20lapathi%201.jpg

Can you let me know where and when you collected it? There are only  
records from Cape Breton, both from Cape Breton County, so the  
information is of interest.

Best wishes!

Chris
