 * Wars and Conflicts:
 * Civil War in Myanmar: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau pledges support for the pro-democracy protestors, but states that Canada is not ready to become militarily involved in the country. The government issues an official condemnation of the massacres committed by the Tatmandaw, calling for those involved to resign. A bill passes the Canadian Parliament pledging $150,000,000 to fund pro-democracy protests across the country, to be distributed by the United Nations. Canada officially withdraws all embassies from Myanmar to avoid danger to ambassadors, stating in a government release that "We cannot in good conscience keep our diplomats in a country where anarchy runs free, and where there is a clear and present danger to their well being." Transport Canada has announced the cancelling of all flights to Myanmar and neighboring Bangladesh, and a ban on any non-authorized flights originating from the two countries. Trudeau also gives a speech reaffirming the right to self-determination for ethnic minorities in Myanmar, while condemning "Excessive violence on all sides."
 * Conflict in Syria and Iraq: Canada reaffirms its commitment to peace-keeping forces in Syria, even as the United States withdraws. Justin Trudeau gives a speech, urging that "We should not abandon the work we have done when we are so critically close to achieving our goals and defeating this great menace. We should not and must not abandon the Syrian people." Trudeau also goes on to condemn the Turkish invasion of Kurdistan, launching a complaint with the United Nations. The House of Commons passes a bill to provide medical and military aid to the NES in Kurdistan, totaling $45,000,000. Trudeau organizes a virtual meeting with Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to discuss the invasion, however communications break down, and Erdoğan leaves the meeting in a fury, calling Trudeau "An ignorant, fat-headed pig who should mind his business."
 * Conflict in Ukraine: Canada condemns Russian aggression against Ukraine. Justin Trudeau releases a written condemnation, calling for a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to discuss a peaceful end to the conflict. He further goes on to condemn Russia's violation of ceasefires and international treaties, and accuses Putin of "Manipulating the cause of ethnic self-determination to advance the cause of Nationalistic Imperialism." The House of Commons passes a bill pledging $200,000,000 in humanitarian aid to Ukraine, as well as the commitment of paramedical military forces for purely medical purposes in the regions of Donbass and Luhansk. On the matter, Trudeau comments "We are seeing an abhorrent loss of life in Ukraine as a result of Russian aggression. Canada has a moral obligation, wherever we can, to aid the Ukrainian people, and to save lives."
 * Conflict in Chad: Trudeau calls for the ceasing of hostilities between the current government and the UFDD, and for a unification against the Islamic State elements which have occupied northern sections of the country. Minister of Defense Harjit Sajjan pledges a re-doubling of the country's effort as part of Operation Enduring Freedom, and states that "We are incredibly close to ridding the world of the scourge of Islamic Radicalism; we must not hesitate to eliminate this threat at any cost."
 * Colombian Revolution: Trudeau condemns the violence against the Colombian government, and the Canadian Government issues a statement in support of Colombian president Iván Duque Márquez. However, this sparks discontent with their coalition members, the NDP, who largely oppose the Colombian government, and support FARC's cause. Growing tensions between the two parties leads to Trudeau withdrawing the government's official support of the incumbent government; despite this, the House of Commons narrowly passes a bill recognizing Márquez as the legitimate president of Colombia, with Trudeau's support. Minister of Foreign Affairs Marc Garneau condemns the violence against protestors in a ten-page statement. This statement garners criticism against Garneau, with some accusing him of supporting the violence of the rebel parties. Garneau is relieved from his position for four weeks while an ethics commission investigates the incident, but he is eventually reinstated with no charges made.
 * Internal Affairs:
 * 2022 Canadian Parliament Ramming Attack and Shooting: On March 8, 2022, two unmarked, unlicensed white vans violently entered Parliament Hill, in Ottawa. The vans entered over a sidewalk, hitting five civilians, two of whom died. The drivers then hit two security guards, killing one. One driver was shot within their van. The other exited and pulled out an AK-47 rifle, opening fire on security, killing two officers and wounding 6, before being shot and killed. Both attackers were white Americans in their 40s. A manifesto was found in the second van, detailing that the purpose for the attack was to punish Canada for its refusal to back America in the Myanmar War.
 * Ethics Investigation against Minister of Foreign Affairs Marc Garneau: After the rogue release of a government statement in support of FARC rebels in Colombia, against government policy, Minister of Foreign Affairs Marc Garneau was relieved of his position while under investigation by the Ethics Committee. The investigation lasted four weeks, mainly investigating Garneau's misuse of his office to defy government policy and illegal encouragement of a designated terrorist group. After four weeks, Garneau was reinstated to his position with no charges.
 * Cancellation of Pipeline Five Project: Pipeline Five, which supplies Albertan oil to refineries in the Midwestern United States and Southwestern Ontario, is officially closed, following discussion between Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, Ontario Premier Doug Ford, Alberta Premier Jason Kenney, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The pipeline supplied over 70% of oil to the refineries, leading to a minor oil supply crisis. The closure is hailed by environmentalist and native rights groups, but is decried by conservatives and businesses. The remaining assets related to the pipeline are nationalized by the Canadian Government with Whitmer's approval, mainly to prevent decay and future spills.
 * Coronavirus-19 Officially Eradicated in Canada: Canada officially declares that it has vaccinated all of its population that is qualified, and the final case of COVID-19 is recorded as resolved on June 19, 2022. The country officially recorded a total of 41,560 deaths as a result of the pandemic. Trudeau hails the announcement in a widely televised speech: "Today we celebrate a great achievement. More than two years after our first case of the Coronavirus disease, we have finally resolved our final case. I want to thank all our front-line healthcare workers for the phenomenal work they have done to bring us to this point. I also want to thank our provincial premiers for their leadership during this crisis. As Canada has completed its vaccination efforts, all further vaccines will be distributed to poorer countries in need, in a way that will be determined in collaboration with foreign governments."
 * Stoney Reservation 142 Murders and Riots: 8 murders of First Nations reserve residents on Stoney Reservation 142 in Alberta have finally been linked to a high-ranking RCMP officer. The revelation draws widespread criticism, and calls for resignation and arrest of the offending officer, as well as an investigation into potential cover-ups by other RCMP officials. However, the RCMP refuses to investigate the case, releasing a statement saying they "Wholly trust the judgment and wisdom of the accused officer, and do not believe he would be capable of committing such a horrid crime," and that they "will keep searching earnestly to bring the murderer to justice." This sparked riots out of an already tense relationship between First Nations groups and the RCMP, stoked by years of officially unsolved officer murders and kidnappings. Trudeau condemns the RCMP's actions, stating that they should investigate the accused officer more thoroughly. A bill to bring the RCMP under federal investigation and tighter regulatory reins narrowly fails in the House of Commons. The riots last 3 weeks between September 9 and September 29, 2022, and cause over $2 million in damages, over half of which is in Calgary. Four deaths, three of Natives and one of an RCMP officer, are linked to the riots, with over 600 arrests made.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Global Economic and Security Co-Operation Organization (GESCO) Membership: Upon the invitation of Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, Canada will join the Global Economic and Security Co-Operation Organization, henceforth known as GESCO. A bill to approve the joining will pass the House of Commons with bipartisan support, though with a few detractors from each side, and opposition of the NDP and Greens. With Parliament's approval, Trudeau announces Canada's entrance into GESCO.
