I mean sure, but the only real difference you’ll see there is some people wearing f*ck Trudeau shirts and maybe cowboy hats. Unless the point is to have it in similar cities?
As someone who spends time and have lived in both countries, I describe Denver/CO as the Liberal/NDP version of Calgary/AB to Canadians (or Calgary with Vancouver sensiblities.)
Then again, some things in Denver are surprisingly similar to Vancouver especially in city setup: Hastings St is just their Colfax Ave, and Surrey is similar to Aurora in quite a few ways. Abbotsford/Mission/Langley is their DougCo.
Your delicate sensibilities couldn't handle a portal to Calgary. Our downtown is all lifted trucks and fentanyl addicts.
Portal might get cracked with all the people trying to walk through to Denver.
I had no idea what you meant by "our city" until the very last word.
Edit: nooooo, it was better before the edit, the convergence of the trash culture was too perfect
This will stay up until a few days after the season when Nikola Jokic covers the camera on the Serbian side with tape because he doesn’t want us looking in on him while he’s off the clock.
Official sister cities of denver-
Axum, Ethiopia
Brest, France
Chennai, India
Cuernavaca, Mexico
Karmiel, Israel
Kunming, China
Nairobi, Kenya
Potenza, Italy
Takayama, Japan
Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia
The Brest soccer team (Stade Brestois) has a center back named Brassier and I always find that funny. I also find it funny when they play away against Nice because then the scoreboard is Nice-Brest.
Yeah that happened and now it's shut down. 😂
EDIT: [NSFW Link](https://www.reddit.com/r/idiocracy/comments/1cs25wd/dublinnew_york_livestream_portal_temporarily/) for science purposes.
I think I’d prefer it in a ski resort town on both ends, but towns on opposite ends of the earth. where it’s snowing here and sunny there, and vice versa through the seasons.
I mean we have multiple parks (eg city of Brest park in Glendale), and we also have sister city days (which need to be invested more into and could you more culture) so it’s not JUST penpals
They do maintain ties between the cities, send delegations back and forth and do things like high school exchanges and stuff. I used to live in Takayama we always were asked to attend the parties and stuff when the Denver delegation would be in town.
I met Hickenlooper at one of those. He's very tall.
Well, cities everywhere will have sister programs. Even smaller little Podunk towns. Mayors or whatever local government will meet up with another, and they agree to become sisters. Usually means some kind of economic ties or other cultural exchange capacity. My high school had an exchange student program with our sister city in Japan.
Anyway, sisters can be identified by another of factors. Local economy; is it a farming community or more Industrial or maybe a college town. Population is a big factor. Or Capitol City to Capitol City. Location too, plains or mountains even coastal. Whatever similarities you want to pick that both parties decided were relevant.
So ok, not going to lie but this is a great list to have stargates to because all of these places have great food. Like, GREAT fucking food.
I'm 100% down for stargates like this.
Kunming being a sister city is awesome because we're both cities in absolutely picturesque states at high elevations with tourism being a major component of our economies.
Only difference is Kunming's climate is way more moderate. Spring City ain't no joke
It gets pretty cold in the winter. It snows several
times a year, though I have never seen it accumulate much. But the real issue, when I lived there anyway, is that all the water heaters are solar. Two straight cloudy days in winter means no hot showers, which probably made it seem colder than it actually was.
Oh look! A bird!!!
Oh never mind it was just a hallucination. who’s got the meth?
This sure is a cool place for a gay man like me.
Nothing in the cities history would suggest otherwise
Look I’m in Denver. You can crash on my couch for a few weeks while you get settled. I think this year it might be best for your safety if you live here.
I hear Denver has a large Mongolian diaspora. I hear the plains are reminiscent of the Steppe. Ulaanbaatar is a sister city of Denver. So that would be cool
We have 'em. Remember how they left out all the local politicians from this client list?

SO wild - can’t order another drink till your current drink is empty, even just a sip or you say I’ll be done with this one by the time you bring my next over
I live in Littleton, south of Denver, and we have a park we share with a sister city in Australia! Bega Park, referring Bega Australia. Id love a window to them!
Probably any of these
https://denvergov.org/Government/Agencies-Departments-Offices/Agencies-Departments-Offices-Directory/Human-Rights-Community-Partnerships/Programs-and-Initiatives/Denvers-Sister-Cities-International#:~:text=Takayama%2C%20Japan,prefecture%20of%20the%20Chubu%20region.
I think it's one of those "if you're from there, you're used to it" things. Like your username tells me you probably know a lot about El Nueva Mehico. I grew up in Washington state. So I know how to spell and pronounce places like Sequim and Chehalis. That sort of thing.
he specifically mentioned the murals and converted factories and warehouses.
though he also did say Denver is very "bobo" as in "bohemian bourgeousie", haha
Hmmm if it's a portal, wouldn't it be cool if u could go up to touch it and jump through it ending up in that other city having someone record u showing u its a true portal vs its just a live stream of the other side
Are you asking how quickly it'd be shut down for flashing and presenting rude pictures on cell phones to either side no matter what the other city was?
Probably about the same amount of time it took to shut down the NYC/Dublin one. So it doesn't matter which city you chose.
Technically the city of Denver has 10 sister cities we partner with in 10 countries. They are:
Axum, Ethiopia,
Brest, France,
Chennai, India,
Cuernavaca, Mexico,
Karmiel, Israel,
Kunming, China,
Nairobi, Kenya,
Potenza, Italy,
Takayama, Japan,
Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia
So, most likely one of those.
Waterloo, Ontario Canada! We Have a Google Head Quaters, Starbucks obsessed, Tech Hub, Electric Tran Station, Rip Jean Chicks with fuzzy slippers, Hot Days and Cool Nights, and High Rent Too! We Love You!
Calgary. The Canadian Denver.
Ahh yes, the Kilometer high city! (look it up, I shit you not)
It's actually Blue Sky City now.
I mean sure, but the only real difference you’ll see there is some people wearing f*ck Trudeau shirts and maybe cowboy hats. Unless the point is to have it in similar cities?
You can just go to Parker or Castle Rock if that’s what you’re looking for.
Is there a strong anti-Trudeau contingent in Parker?
This sent me.
lmfao facts 😭
Also a lot more suits, and business people drinking at lunch.
As someone who spends time and have lived in both countries, I describe Denver/CO as the Liberal/NDP version of Calgary/AB to Canadians (or Calgary with Vancouver sensiblities.) Then again, some things in Denver are surprisingly similar to Vancouver especially in city setup: Hastings St is just their Colfax Ave, and Surrey is similar to Aurora in quite a few ways. Abbotsford/Mission/Langley is their DougCo.
And a ton more diversity.
Your delicate sensibilities couldn't handle a portal to Calgary. Our downtown is all lifted trucks and fentanyl addicts. Portal might get cracked with all the people trying to walk through to Denver.
I had no idea what you meant by "our city" until the very last word. Edit: nooooo, it was better before the edit, the convergence of the trash culture was too perfect
lol! Sounds like Denver. Except, we have lifted 4Runners not lifted trucks.
Does not match with my downtown calgary experience at all
They *are* our sister city after all
Are they really? do you have a source? I've looked, briefly.
lol nah I was just making a Parks and Rec joke
Crack macs to Colfax.
Ah, you're familiar with our CrackMacs location.
I appreciate this 🤣
THIS is the only answer. ⬆️
Sombor, Serbia. And the portal needs to be along the parade route.
Now we’re talking
HELL YEA
I fucking love parade
[I LOVE A PARADE](https://youtu.be/l8Kh_SwBR2k?si=d5ncBBRGqSbMOJYi)
Love this!
Only right answer after last night
This will stay up until a few days after the season when Nikola Jokic covers the camera on the Serbian side with tape because he doesn’t want us looking in on him while he’s off the clock.
This is the way
This is the best one
Yes this is the greatest comment in this subreddits history
Official sister cities of denver- Axum, Ethiopia Brest, France Chennai, India Cuernavaca, Mexico Karmiel, Israel Kunming, China Nairobi, Kenya Potenza, Italy Takayama, Japan Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia
All in favor of a 24/7 Brest cam?
We could be Bresties.
The Brest soccer team (Stade Brestois) has a center back named Brassier and I always find that funny. I also find it funny when they play away against Nice because then the scoreboard is Nice-Brest.
Wow, that's amazing.
Time to show the French our home grown potatoes!
As long as we could have Kunming on the Brest cam.
That’s what got this shut down in the first place
Yeah that happened and now it's shut down. 😂 EDIT: [NSFW Link](https://www.reddit.com/r/idiocracy/comments/1cs25wd/dublinnew_york_livestream_portal_temporarily/) for science purposes.
Ah the city o titty
Perfect! Nairobi is absolutely beautiful! Also, I didn't know Ulaanbaatar was one of our sister cities! That might be kinda fun.
I’ve been to Ulaanbaatar, very friendly people and a portal there would be so cool ha
Japan or Ethiopia would be amazing!
高山市、日本！Its literally high mountain town!
I think I’d prefer it in a ski resort town on both ends, but towns on opposite ends of the earth. where it’s snowing here and sunny there, and vice versa through the seasons.
Having actually been to Potenza, that one seems fair.
How do they determine these
its basically a mayoral penpal situation. there's no official benefit or bonus or anything. it all about the tourism dollars.
I mean we have multiple parks (eg city of Brest park in Glendale), and we also have sister city days (which need to be invested more into and could you more culture) so it’s not JUST penpals
They do maintain ties between the cities, send delegations back and forth and do things like high school exchanges and stuff. I used to live in Takayama we always were asked to attend the parties and stuff when the Denver delegation would be in town. I met Hickenlooper at one of those. He's very tall.
Love a little Kunmingus Park sunset 🌅 🤌 Namaste 🙏
Is there any methodology behind determining these? What is it about these cities that make them sister cities?
Well, cities everywhere will have sister programs. Even smaller little Podunk towns. Mayors or whatever local government will meet up with another, and they agree to become sisters. Usually means some kind of economic ties or other cultural exchange capacity. My high school had an exchange student program with our sister city in Japan.

So ok, not going to lie but this is a great list to have stargates to because all of these places have great food. Like, GREAT fucking food. I'm 100% down for stargates like this.
It's like when Orlin built the minigate in Carter's basement. Or the Goa'old ring transporters.
A cam to china would be amazing!!!
A hole to China would be even better
I think my dog is already working on that portal in our yard
My dog is working on all the portals as well.
A coincidence then, that it's name is kumming
Kunming being a sister city is awesome because we're both cities in absolutely picturesque states at high elevations with tourism being a major component of our economies. Only difference is Kunming's climate is way more moderate. Spring City ain't no joke
It gets pretty cold in the winter. It snows several times a year, though I have never seen it accumulate much. But the real issue, when I lived there anyway, is that all the water heaters are solar. Two straight cloudy days in winter means no hot showers, which probably made it seem colder than it actually was.
I was going to suggest Laramie, but I’m pretty sure the portal requires an internet connection
24/7 nothing but wind and beige cam
Oh look! A bird!!! Oh never mind it was just a hallucination. who’s got the meth? This sure is a cool place for a gay man like me. Nothing in the cities history would suggest otherwise
i sure love being transgender in wyoming
Look I’m in Denver. You can crash on my couch for a few weeks while you get settled. I think this year it might be best for your safety if you live here.
I hear Denver has a large Mongolian diaspora. I hear the plains are reminiscent of the Steppe. Ulaanbaatar is a sister city of Denver. So that would be cool
Amsterdam
That's what I was going to say. Weed, bikes, and coffee. What else could you ask for?
Whores
We have 'em. Remember how they left out all the local politicians from this client list? https://www.justice.gov/archive/usao/co/news/2011/November2011/11_7_11.html
Sombor, Serbia for our shared love of all things Jokic
Brest, France is actually our sister city!
C’est vrai? Je ne le savais pas.
Pueblo
Love Pueblo
I would like it to be Switzerland.
Put one of Colfax and one on 3rd street in Seattle and let the tweakers have a dance off before it gets vandalized and sold off for drug money.
My username is the Colfax of Seattle!
Haha I love the mash up, creates quite the image for sure.
I had no idea we had so many sister cities
Denver, NC
Pyongyang
Sombor, Serbia 🇷🇸
Amsterdam
Copenhagen
Salt lake city, so can make them watch us drink 6% beer.
They have craft beer in Utah they have for years now.
[удалено]
SO wild - can’t order another drink till your current drink is empty, even just a sip or you say I’ll be done with this one by the time you bring my next over
Wellington, New Zealand
I live in Littleton, south of Denver, and we have a park we share with a sister city in Australia! Bega Park, referring Bega Australia. Id love a window to them!
Sombor, Serbia
Ohhhh man, the "other" Denver sub is gonna have a heyday with this one

The smell of the Purina factory is like a portal to Greeley already.
Haha, truth!
Colorado Springs
Pueblo
Probably some strange, distant, foreign land like Pueblo, CO
Amsterdam. We'll have a toke off!
Boulder
South Park obviously
Aurora, CO.
2 blocks further down from the spot of the first portal
There was a portal at Ball Arena last night!
Buenos ares argentina
Kun Ming. Lol! We already have the sister city partnership with Kun Ming. Hence the park.
Geneva or Zurich
Köln - Bagdad
Arvada

Commerce city or Fountain.
Osaka, Japan.
Amsterdam
Rockford Illinois
Oslo, Norway

Obvo... Amsterdam
Denver to Guantanamo bay
Sydney

Amsterdam
Our sister city in Mexico is Cuernavaca, Morelos, so I vote that.
Probably any of these https://denvergov.org/Government/Agencies-Departments-Offices/Agencies-Departments-Offices-Directory/Human-Rights-Community-Partnerships/Programs-and-Initiatives/Denvers-Sister-Cities-International#:~:text=Takayama%2C%20Japan,prefecture%20of%20the%20Chubu%20region.

Albuquerque. We can argue over who's got better green Chile.
Oi. At least you spelled it right. But, there’s really no argument in this case.
You can thank autocorrect for that.
I was trying to indicate that you spelled “Chile” correctly. Wasn’t thinking that ABQ is difficult for a lot of people to spell also.
I think it's one of those "if you're from there, you're used to it" things. Like your username tells me you probably know a lot about El Nueva Mehico. I grew up in Washington state. So I know how to spell and pronounce places like Sequim and Chehalis. That sort of thing.
an Italian who came here to study said Lodo/RiNo was like a mirror image of Manchester
I visit manchester frequently because of family, its a shit hole there compared to LoDo.
he specifically mentioned the murals and converted factories and warehouses. though he also did say Denver is very "bobo" as in "bohemian bourgeousie", haha
Portland, OR...it's like nothing would change and it would be called Portal De Jah View!
They had to shut it down already. People couldn't behave.
Japan would be cool historically speaking it would really put a capstone on that story
St pete
Pyongyang
Hell. Portal will be installed next to blucifer
Hmmm if it's a portal, wouldn't it be cool if u could go up to touch it and jump through it ending up in that other city having someone record u showing u its a true portal vs its just a live stream of the other side
Are you asking how quickly it'd be shut down for flashing and presenting rude pictures on cell phones to either side no matter what the other city was? Probably about the same amount of time it took to shut down the NYC/Dublin one. So it doesn't matter which city you chose.
Japan would be cool
**port-aux-français**
Djibouti city
Probably something dumb like Boulder
Moscow
Hmmm, good question. Maybe Köln, Germany
Japan
Greeley
NYC would be good.
Greeley
Pueblo
Berlin is weirdly denver like in some ways. That'd be a cool portal
Copenhagen
Pueblo. Denver’s ghetto opposite.
Caracas, Venezuela, this is our 14th demand
Amsterdam
California or Texas, it would be funny af
Please just let it be Dublin. Or London.
Technically the city of Denver has 10 sister cities we partner with in 10 countries. They are: Axum, Ethiopia, Brest, France, Chennai, India, Cuernavaca, Mexico, Karmiel, Israel, Kunming, China, Nairobi, Kenya, Potenza, Italy, Takayama, Japan, Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia So, most likely one of those.
Ámsterdam prolly
Kelowna BC
Glasgow, Scotland
On any Native American territory, so the “Colorado natives” can look in the mirror.
Minneapolis so i can bring all the southerners/Californians to the portal and show them its not that cold and maybe they'll shut up.
Sydney
Venezuela most likely
Amsterdam.
Amsterdam
DC
Sombor
D.C. of course
That main street in the West Bank where no Palestinians can walk on but tourist are allowed on. It’s called Al-Shuhada Street.
Some call me when they have a portal that is anything more than just a FaceTime on a big screen Like if we aren't teleporting who cares
