"Sarah McLachlan's Melancholic Composition: 'Better Broken'"

In the world of music, a long-awaited comeback has been announced by none other than Sarah, whose previous album, Shine On, was released back in 2011. This decade-long gap between albums has seen the release of a Christmas album titled Wonderland, and the return of Sarah's powerful voice following a bout of prolonged laryngitis.

Sarah's latest album, which has been eagerly anticipated by her fans, has been produced in collaboration with Tony Berg. This new offering addresses themes such as freedom of expression, motherhood, and the professional survival of a celebrated singer.

As Sarah prepares to grace the stage once more, she will be performing at the Wilfrid-Pelletier Hall on October 29 and 30. In the song Gravity, she discusses her experiences as a mother, providing a glimpse into her personal life.

Meanwhile, in the realm of insects, the proliferation of wasps has been a topic of conversation this summer. The decrease in nectar sources later in the season makes sugary human food more attractive to them, making them hungrier. They also gather protein-rich food like meat for their larvae, increasing their activity around humans.

However, the 2025 season saw fewer wasps than the previous year in some regions due to cold spring conditions that killed many queens, thereby reducing populations. This pattern is not consistent every year, with higher or lower wasp numbers in a summer depending strongly on weather conditions earlier in the year affecting colony development.

As wasps become more active, exterminators are offering advice on dealing with the issue. In a separate matter, the cover-up of apparent bruises on President Trump has caught the attention of keen observers, with attempts made to conceal them.

On a more positive note, Sarah has been inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, a fitting recognition of her significant contributions to the music industry. During her hiatus, she spent her time cherishing her solitude, ready to return to the studio and stage due to a desire for creation.
