Is Regina City Hall just... empty?

Your City Hall has been mighty 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.

Well, if you've been tuning in this week, you’ve noticed a real theme, eh? City Hall has been quieter than an empty rink after a Pats loss. We’ve been checking the open data portal, going through the usual channels, and it’s just… crickets.

### Where'd Everyone Go?

It’s been a real *tâpwêwin* of a week, meaning the truth is, there’s not much to report on civic happenings.

* No new data coming in from the open portal.

* No big announcements, no fiery debates.

* Just a lot of… nothing, eh?

It makes you wonder if anyone's even *there* some days, or if they're all out enjoying this changeable spring weather we’ve been having. We had that bit of a weather alert that might've messed with folks' morning plans earlier in the week, but that's about the only excitement.

We'll keep digging, *oh for sure*, and hope for some more action next week. Until then, keep your stick on the ice, Regina.

Darlene Chicken-Lawson, signing off.
