5 famous Canadian moms we love

A soulful songbird from Halifax, Sarah McLachlan's beautiful ballads have been playing on the radio for more than a decade. When she was pregnant with her first child, India Ann Sushil Sood, McLachlan lost her mother to cancer. She took a long hiatus from recording, explaining it thus to One Way Magazine: "I was just living my life. I lost a mother, and I became a mother," she said. All moms can relate to that.
