Alright so the Albertan government is openly collaborating with the US over an "independence" referendum we don't want

US just openly conquered a sovereign state.

This referendum goes forward and although it's a sure loser I can see a fabricated case of election fraud and the US runs in to save the day.

And suddenly things get really fuckin weird

I would say pretty much every country the US helped build up since WW2 was just a puppet state.

@plungesponge Huge difference between complaint and colonized.

@BorealPedant I'm assuming you mean the population is compliant but not a blind follower. I would agree, but the governments have been completely captured, the public is just starting to catch on

@plungesponge Well I mean I'm Canadian. We're not a puppet state but we're compliant.

The US genuinely just kidnapped a world leader and are now indefinitely ruling a sovereign nation.

These are not the same thing.
