Regina's City Hall is too quiet. What are they hiding?

Your City Hall sure has been quiet, 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.

It's been one of *those* weeks down at City Hall, eh? Quieter than the Warehouse District on a Sunday morning. Usually, we've got some good kîwayihtamowin, something new to chew on from the city's open data portal. But this week? Nothin'.

### What's Up With the Silence?

It’s been so quiet, you could hear a pin drop in the council chambers. What we've noticed is:

* Zero new civic data uploads.

* No new reports to pick through.

* Just… crickets.

It leaves you wondering, eh? Is everyone on a secret prairie retreat, or did the gophers finally chew through the main server cable? Whatever it is, it makes you a bit nervous. When things are too quiet, that’s when you gotta start asking questions. For now, we'll keep our ears to the ground, and our eyes on those doors at 2476 Victoria Avenue.

So, for now, that's your City Hall update, such as it is. Stay warm, stay safe, and *miyonehkatoh*.

Darlene Chicken-Lawson, for the MiTL Sports Desk.
