I think it's the last one- interfering in elections.

Yeah, I don't really think that holds up to scrutiny, unless I'm missing something. I know there's more evidence of the USA meddling in an Australian election, but the evidence of anything overtly illegal is very thin.

From this, I had just remembered finding the following after what I had said- U.S. elites are backing Albertan Separatism and I think this video does a fairly good explanation of the movement, discusses some context, and discusses a couple potentially legitimate grievances but then of course what the U.S. elites have to gain from backing it.

Edit: added another detail, and clarifying the use of the phrase 'potentially' due to that I'm not Canadian and don't know the full context.

Yes, that is true. I don't discount that many American citizens are attempting to influence our politics in Canada, but I just find it a bit absurd to put it on par with all the criminal coups and murderous stuff America has done in most of all the other countries in the original map.
