Toronto may have a new mayor in the coming years. Names being tossed around include Olivia Chow, John Tory and Adam Vaughan. Even Jose Canseco said at one point he may run. Now a Canadian celebrity may be tossing his hat in the ring to keep the city from being in jeopardy.

I'll take possible future Toronto mayors for $400 ...

Answer: This Sudbury-born quiz show host began his career covering news for CBC before moving to the U.S. in 1973 to host game shows.

Question: Who is Alex Trebek?

The 72-year-old TV star told The Canadian Press that he has no plans to retire from hosting Jeopardy!, a gig he's had since 1984, but joked he doesn't know what the future holds. He eluded a run for political office may even be in the future.

"I have been considering going into politics, but where and in what venue and what level ..." he told CP. "In a couple of years it might be fun to come back to Toronto after having left Jeopardy! for an office here if there's one available ... wink, wink."

From a bear standing on its hind legs and looking like a furry person when breaking into a car to a cop jamming in front of a hundred people on the street, we've seen some great videos this week. Here are some of our favourites:

1. Bear standing on hind legs breaks into car

B.C. resident Rebecca Moore and her husband were woken early one morning to see a bear inside one of their cars. So Moore started filming. They witnessed the bear climb out of the one car and then get on its hind legs and open the door of the truck without seeming to put in any effort. "He's obviously a pro, he's used to doing it," she told CBC. "You just couldn't believe what you were seeing."

Moore said her and her husband chased the bear away shortly after they started filming. Conservation officers say this has happened before and will happen again. They urge people to not leave food inside their vehicles.

From an angry bird attacking people in Ottawa to an angry goat attacking people in Brazil, we've seen some great videos this week. Here are some of our favourites:

1. Angry bird attacks on Parliament Hill

I was out for a run one day along the Don River trail in Toronto when I felt something digging into my head. After a bit of freaking out and shaking it was gone. On my way back along the same path I realized what happened. I saw a Red-winged Blackbird attack a fellow runner. These male birds do whatever it takes to defend their territory, which usually contains about five female birds, according to Wild Birds Unlimited. More than a quarter of the male's time is spent defending the territory from other males and predators, including humans. They swoop down from a higher point, usually in a tree, and go after the person's head. At least humans can just duck for cover. They Blackbirds will declare war on Marsh Wrens in their territory and go after their eggs. If only the Ottawa birds would

Outside the studio during Dragons' Den auditions

Darien and Jordan nervously walk down the stairs and enter the den. They are in Toronto for the popular CBC reality show Dragons' Den to ask for a large amount of money to mine gold in the Yukon.

They claim to have found a new method of profit-sharing and say they could make the dragons a lot of money. They go through their plan for about 30 minutes and enter a lively debate with the dragons about their knowledge of the area and the value of their company.

If this makes it to one of the 20 episodes, it will air sometime between September 2013 and March 2014. If it makes it to air, the viewing audience will see a pitch and debate that is only about five minutes long. But a lot goes into that five minutes of TV.

It starts with trying to coordinate a schedule between the panel of investors and the CBC studio, which is done a year in advance. Long before taping commences, a team of producers travels the country hunting for budding entrepreneurs. This year they visited 45 cities over a little

It's not every day a grade five student can make her dad proud by getting kicked out of school, but Keila Penner did.

Dress code at Maple Grove Elementary School in a suburb of Montreal requires students to wear a blue cardigan with the school logo, solid navy pants and a plain white shirt or blouse. They are not allowed to wear jeans, hats or anything with a logo on it.

So you can imagine how excited students must have been to be able to wear a hockey jersey of their favourite team to school instead of the standard uniform. It was designed for students to wear Canadiens jerseys to support the team for game one of the Easter Conference quarter-final series on Thursday. But 11-year-old Keila put on the jersey of her favourite team, the Ottawa Senators (who the Canadiens are playing in the first round) and went to school.

Elton Kim is lucky to be alive after doing something we usually see stuntmen do in action movies: he clung to the hood of a car while a woman drove for more than three kilometres.

Kim didn't want to go for the death-defying ride. He intervened after a woman backed into his wife's SUV outside his dry cleaning business in Georgia two weeks ago. He stood in her way to try and keep her from escaping and then she suddenly accelerated. Kim was forced to jump on the hood to avoid being run over.

Jim Meyer began recording the video when the woman took off with Kim on the hood.

"It surprised me obviously," Meyer told WSBTV. "I wouldn't have expected somebody to take off with a guy on his hood, that's for sure."

Meyer said the driver didn't show any emotion. He assumed Kim had already called the police, but when he heard Kim ask him to call, he stopped recording and dialed 911.

When the woman stopped at a red light, several cars boxed

3D printers have been made to create jewelry, help a little girl use her arms and construct Pez dispensers, but now some suspect this neat new technology could be used for evil.

The world's first 3D gun has not only been printed, but it's also fired real bullets. This quashes theories that it may explode when fired because its mostly plastic.

"I think a lot of people weren't expecting that this could be done," said Cody Wilson, of a group called Defense Distributed, to BBC. The 25-year-old law student at the University of Texas and his group spent a year trying to create the firearm.

A video posted to YouTube yesterday shows the gun, called the Liberator, being fired. The group will make the plans of how to build the gun available online and this has gun control advocates wondering what to do next.

"These guns could fall into the hands of people who should not have guns - criminals, people who are seriously mentally ill, people who are convicted of domestic violence, even children," said

From a dog that is trained to use the toilet to a man who survived 27 hours at sea while sharks circled below, we've seen some great videos this week. Here are some of our favourites:

1. Dog trained to use toilet

If you have to get up super early and go out in the freezing cold to walk your dog, you will most likely want the name of whoever trained this dog. Somehow it knows how to hop on the toilet seat, relieve itself and then flush the toilet. According to a post on eHow, it is actually possible. "It may sound silly, but with a little patience, and a lot of encouragement, you can potty train your furry friend," reads the site. It outlines four steps, but I still have a hard time believing it.
