Canada's prime minister, Stephen Harper, described Sharon as "one of the architects of modern-day Israel" and one of its "staunchest defenders" in a statement of condolence.
"A renowned military leader, Mr. Sharon pursued the security of Israel with unyielding determination that was recognized by friends and foes alike."
Sharon played a central role in the Israeli government for several years, changing the political landscape through his leadership and vision, Harper added.
He also said that Canada values its long-standing relationship with Israel, "which is based on shared values, common interests and strong political, economic, cultural and social ties."
Sharon died Saturday at the age of 85. He spent eight years in a coma after he had a stroke at the height of his power in 2006. His death followed a week of sharp decline in his health as his vital organs began shutting down.
Citizenship and Immigration Minister Chris Alexander will represent Canada at a memorial for Sharon, the Prime Minister's Office said in a statement.
Suhail, this is a very interesting paragraph chosen for your current events. It is very interesting to read. However, I think your sentences in the paragraphs could be longer and also maybe you could put some of the paragraphs together. Good job!
