If there is one incident of someone leaving a child or a pet in a hot car, it's one too many.

With that in mind, one Toronto City Councillor wants plaza owners to put up signs warning of the potential dangers of leaving kids or dogs in cars, while the temperature inside the vehicle soars.

Etobicoke Centre Councillor Gloria Lindsay Luby pitched the idea in hopes it makes people think twice before walking away from their car.

The signs would read: "Warning. Heat kills children and pets."

There have been a number of cases where pets have been left in cars this summer, including one fatal incident, where a couple from Sudbury who left their chocolate Lab in their car in Vaughan Mills.

More arrests in connection with an alleged case of human trafficking.

York Regional Police say a 21 year old woman from Mississauga was arrested last week, when another woman came forward claiming she'd been forced to work as an exotic dancer and a prostitute , by a guy she'd met online.

The three now face a list of charges, including human trafficking, forcible confinement and assault.

Charged is 21 year old Vanessa Cachia from Mississauga, 27 year old Stefan Ascenzi from Toronto and 46 year old Lisa Ascenzi from Toronto.

Police think there could be more victims out there.

Police have another tool to use in their quest to find a potential sex offender near York University.

Cops have released a surveillance video of a man, they believe, is attempting to break into a home on Assiniboine Road early on Thursday morning.

They say the man was spotted kneeling at the foot of a woman's bed around 5 o'clock on Thursday.

When she screamed, he ran off.

Police were clear in saying this never escalated to the point of a sexual assault, but the woman’s laptop is missing.

The federal government will appeal a British Columbia Supreme Court ruling which struck down Canada's ban on assisted
suicide, Justice Minister Rob Nicholson said Friday.

The landmark ruling last month said the ban is unconstitutional and gave the federal government a year to rewrite it.

But Judge Lynn Smith also granted an immediate exemption to the law, allowing Gloria Taylor, one of the women who brought the lawsuit, to die with a doctor's help.

In a statement, Nicholson said the government intends to seek a stay on all aspects of the ruling, including the exemption for
Taylor, while it goes to the British Columbia Court of Appeal.

``The government is of the view that the Criminal Code provisions that prohibit medical professionals, or anyone else, from
counselling or providing assistance in a suicide, are constitutionally valid,'' the statement said.

``The government also objects to the lower court's decision to grant ...

A construction company has been fined $200,000 in the death of four workers in a scaffolding mishap.

The incident occurred on Christmas Eve in 2009, when high-rise scaffolding snapped in Toronto, sending four workers plunging to their deaths and leaving one badly hurt.
