Comments
Relations between Israel and Canada are based on a firm foundation of Canadian friendship which found its expression during Israel's struggle for independence and during the debate in the United Nations aiming at a solution to the Palestine problem. Canada, still a pioneering land of continuous development, has a sympathetic understanding of the pioneering character of the settlement effort in Israel, as well as an appreciation of the democratic form of Israel's government.
In issuing the medal, marking a century of Canadian Federation, Israel honors for the first time, the national celebration of another country, by way of issuing a numismatic item.
