>>13944390It was practically forced by the British. We lost independence in 1934 because we defaulted on our war debt during the great depression and so we returned to colonial status. This was to stay in place until we were financially able to return to being a country. This happened in WW2 when America built a shit ton of bases here and the economy exploded. So we had a vote independence, join Canada, or stay a colony. Independence wins overwhelmingly, but Canada and Britain fair us becoming close with America and cutting them off from each so they force another election removing colonial status. Anyway joining Canada "won" 51 to 49 and then they burned all the ballots. Now we're a fucking province of Canada. Probably still would be if we hadn't put everything into fighting you krauts
