It's an Empidonax, but I'm doubtful that you can determine the species from a photo of this quality. The leaf that's in the way of the primaries makes it a particularly difficult task.

Also, Ontario is a massive province – giving more detail about the location would be helpful. Acadian Flycatcher has to be considered around Lake Erie, for instance, but it's highly unlikely around Lake Superior!
