Your City Hall is too quiet. What's going on, Regina?

Your City Hall recap is mighty quiet this week, eh?

Hey there, Regina. Darlene Chicken-Lawson here, on the Morning Wire. This is Regina — yeah, we know what it sounds like, and we've heard your joke. Now sit down and listen.

Well, if you've been tuning in this week, you’ve noticed a real theme, eh? It’s been quieter down at City Hall than a winter night in a snow-covered field. Usually, there’s some kind of movement, some back-and-forth, but this past week? *Nothing*.

### What's Not Happening

The big news this week is actually the *lack* of news.

* The open data portal, our usual go-to, has been empty.

* No new reports, no updates, just... silence.

* It's a strange feeling, like the whole city's holding its breath, waiting for something to happen.

We’re used to the prairie wind making noise, but this City Hall quiet is something else. It makes you wonder what’s brewing beneath the surface, eh? We’ll keep our ears to the ground, *oh for sure*.

This is Darlene Chicken-Lawson for the MiTL Sports Desk, Regina.

Now he's applying that infrastructure thinking to local news. Read our story →
