Your City Hall is too quiet. What are they hiding?

Your City Hall has been suspiciously quiet this week

Good morning from the Fundy shore — the tide's turning, and so is New Brunswick. Let's get into it.

I'll tell you what, it's been a real "wait and see" kind of week down at City Hall, and that usually makes me a bit antsy, right? We've been watching closely, and honestly, the silence has been louder than any debate.

### The Great Silence

Normally, I'd be telling you about new development permits or some squabble over parking on Prince William Street. But this week? Not much.

* No big announcements from the mayor's office.

* No new zoning proposals stirring up the usual neighbourhood chatter.

* Even the open data portal seems to be taking a Fundy fog day.

It's got me wondering what's brewing behind those old brick walls. Is it calm before a storm, or just everyone enjoying a quiet week before the spring rush? Either way, you gotta keep your ears open. A quiet City Hall usually means something's about to drop, right?

Good morning from the Fundy shore — the tide's turning, and so is New Brunswick. Let's get into it.
