Your City Hall is still 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 a prairie field in January, oh for sure. We've been checking the open data portal, and it's been more empty than a Riders’ locker room after a bad loss.

### What We Haven't Heard

* **No new civic data:** Not a peep, *kâ-mîskasowin*. The digital doors seem locked up tight.

* **Council activity:** Even the usual whispers about committees or proposed motions have dried up.

* **Budget updates:** Still no word on anything new that affects your pocketbook, which is unusual for this time of year.

It's been a real *tâpwêwin* of a week, meaning it's been mighty quiet, truth be told. Makes you wonder if everyone's taken a collective trip to the lake, eh? Or maybe they're just planning something big that they’re keeping under wraps, like a surprise Grey Cup win.

This is Darlene Chicken-Lawson, and that's your Morning Wire. You can always catch me over at mornings.live.
