Help identifying this canadian spider?
I will let it go outside, but I'm rather curious to know what kind it is first. Pale yellow in colour, black dot on bottom of abdomen, with a very bulbous sac. I live in Toronto.

Looks like it's one of the longlegged sac spiders; presumably Cheiracanthium inclusum (aka Yellow Sac Spider). Very common in houses, eats a lot of annoying household peskies. Supposedly can give a nasty bite, but in recent years that seems to have been disproven.
