The informations we found about celebrities were taken from Media and mainly from the web, magazines and the TV. The most highlighted celebrities nowadays are Cristiano Ronaldo , who is a top rank soccer player ,  and Irina Shayk , a well known model. The reason is that they are both very popular and they have been on the front page and the first subject in many TV shows. In the same time, razor edge comments about their parting, were common enough.

Bloody Paris with the eyes of Nikos Aliagas

Bloody Paris, the story writes with blood one of the darkest pages. The carnage in the capital city of light. Siege. The pursuit of offenders who divide death. The outcome of this three-day massacre that shocked the whole world. A planet blinded by the merciless light of obscurantism. France washes over her blood. The days of the attacks was mournful, shocking. We are in solidarity with freedom of expression. From now on, the French will learn to live differently.
This is not he whole article itself, but some key words we underlined, which add importane to the article. This article is from a greek newspaper called: Prwto thema, which means first theme. This article is about the terrorist attack in Charlie Hebdo, a french magazine. 

The writer is of course against the terrorist attack. Also, a greek reporter was near the incident when it happened and he tells his opinion about this topic. In fact, some of the magazine's reporters were his friends. All the fans of this magazine made a demonstration to express their feelings and to show that, despite the attack they are not afraid of freely expressing their opinion.

HUGHES FIRED FROM CABINET

HUGHES FIRED FROM CABINET

At long last, Prime Minister Borden has done the honourable thing! He has thrown Sir Sam Hughes, his incompetent minister of Militia, out of the Cabinet. Now, Hughes will be unable to do any more damage to Canadian unity. Hughes, more than any other person, has divided and torn this country apart with his policies.

Hughes has managed to antagonize everyone in Quebec. Those French Canadians who have volunteered for the English war have been insulted. The recruitment posters, training and instruction manuals are in English only. More importantly, promotions have only been given to the English-speaking officers. How can Hughes and other Canadians expect French Canadians to join in the war effort when they are treated so poorly?

As Minister of Militia, Hughes has disgraced the nation by rewarding his friends and cronies with munitions contracts. These shady deals have allowed his friends to make millions at the taxpayer's expense. Why should we spill one more drop of precious French-Canadian blood in Europe. Canada only wants Quebec in Confederation when we are willing to sacrifice for the British Empire. Britain started this war. Let Britain finish it!

The author of the article, in my opinion, does not describe the fucts regarding Sir Hughes objectively. He presents his opinion because he wants to affect the public. Although negative and using extremely strong terms, the article is not very far from reality .

Key words:

In my opinion, the writer of this text does not support sir Sam Hughes for many reasons. First of all, he starts the text with the phrase : Prime Minister Borden has done the honourable thing! He has thrown Sir Sam Hughes, his incompetent minister of Militia, out of the Cabinet. This means that the writer thinks that firing sir Sam was a good idea, because mr Hughes has divided and torn the country apart with his policy, he is incopetent, he treats French Canadians poorly, has disgraced the nation and he has given promotion only to the English-speaking officers.By numbering the faults Sam Hughes has done, it is clear that the writer is against him.
Although Hughes had proved a competent, and sometimes exceptional, front-line officer, boastfulness and impatience told strongly against him. ( Wikipedia ) As we can see  the writer of Montreal Matin and wikipedia have different opinion for this theme.
Also this is written in his memorial plaque at  Lindsay, Ontario: Soldier, journalist, imperialist and Member of Parliament for Lindsay, Ontario from 1892 to 1921, Sam Hughes helped to create a distinctively Canadian Army. As Minister of Militia and Defence (1911-1916) he raised the Canadian Expeditionary Force which fought in World War I, and was knighted for his services. Disagreements with his colleagues and subordinates forced his retirement from the Cabinet in 1916."
So, after all, i believe that Sir Sam Hughes has done much for Canada and that's why there is a memorial plaque at Ontario.
