It's a Ranid from Ontario that appears to have no dorso-lateral folds, with makes it a Bullfrog, Rana catesbeiana, or a Mink Frog, Rana septentrionalis (Minks may have them or not, or something in between). The rear legs look to have dark bands instead of blotches, so this looks like a Bullfrog.
I'm not positive from your pictures about the folds, but they're pretty easy to see in person when you know what you're looking for. Compare the pictures at the top of first two links below. Green Frogs have the folds, one along each side of the back. Bullfrogs don't have them (Mink Frog included as the 3rd link to be complete)

The care of any of these species is the same, with bullfrogs needing even more space and being able to take down larger prey as adults.
