Thinking about the "sister city" thing following a radio piece, and about how it seems pretty meaningless in many cases.

I had no idea where Ottawa's sister city is. It never seems to be mentioned nor celebrated here. Turns out we have two – Beijing and Catania.

Presumably it's supposed to foster trade and tourism relationships, but I suspect beyond an initial announcement, it usually fades into obscurity.

Does your city celebrate and build on a sister city relationship?

#TidyTuesday but a day late 😂 This was a fun map to make in #RStats and there's so much you can do with this data!! I ran out time after fiddling around trying to make a fancy subtitle with city names colored to match their nodes and edges. My dream was find the longest trail (starting from my city) from one #sistercity to its #twinnedcity but...lol...no time for that!
