Albertification - Adopting Texas

Albertification: A Modest Proposal

The Situation: President Trump is threatening to acquire Greenland. Denmark responded with "Denmarkification" - a satirical campaign to buy California (280,000+ signatures).

Alberta's Response: We're filing adoption papers for Texas.

Why Texas?

• 181 years old, still can't provide healthcare (~18% uninsured)
• Power grid failed in 2021 (246 deaths)
• Keeps threatening to leave home (Texit) but never does
• Oil, cattle, cowboys, distrust of federal government - sound familiar?

Why Alberta?

• Universal healthcare since 1969
• Power grid works at -40°C
• We're only 120, but we've got our life together
• Saskatchewan has agreed to co-sign

This is satire. But it's satire with real civic engagement tools - forums, polls, and yes, actual Court of King's Bench adoption forms (ADOP0075, ADOP3590) filled out and ready.

If the continent is being reorganized anyway, shouldn't the grown-ups be making the decisions?
