History
Clifford Sifton visited Bukovina in 1895. From 1912 to 1913, Robert W. Service was a correspondent for the Toronto Star during the Balkan Wars.
Joseph W. Boyle served the king and queen of Romania during the World War I, helping to protect the country from the Central Powers and to operate Romania's railways. He was awarded the special title of "Saviour of Romania" for these and many other deeds. He remained a close friend, and was at one time a possible lover of the Romanian Queen, British-born Marie of Edinburgh.
The formal Canada-Romania diplomatic relationship goes back in 1919. Formal relations were established on August 16, 1919 when the General Consulate of Romania was established in Montreal by Vasile Stoica. Prior to that, the consulate had worked without the consent of Canadian authorities.
