International relations

Twin towns - sister cities

Gorges is twinned with:

gollark: I am talking meta-level here; I'm not saying "culling is unhelpful" but "it doesn't actually help anything to try and shove things into the culling box".
gollark: It might not be *technically wrong* by a strict definition to say that trying to improve health standards and whatever to reduce population growth is culling, but it's not... helpful? As in, it doesn't really matter whether the relevant actions fit into [bad and emotionally charged category], but whether they're actually bad.
gollark: "Culling" is generally meant to mean something more like actively going out and killing people.
gollark: It probably comes out net-positive, if they vaccinated a lot of people and didn't have too many issues.
gollark: I am trying to think of a not very politically charged example. This is hard.
