Saint John City Hall is quiet. Too quiet.

Your City Hall silence is still baffling, eh?

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

Well, this week at Saint John City Hall? *Sacré bleu*, it’s been quieter than the Reversing Falls at slack tide. We’ve been poking around for civic data, right, for fresh numbers, and it's just not there. It makes you wonder what’s going on behind those big doors on King Street.

* No new open data reports came through.

* City Hall has been remarkably tight-lipped about daily operations.

* The Canadian Real Estate Association, however, *has* been busy, talking about changes that could make buying a home easier.

I'll tell you what, while Saint John City Hall seems to be taking a long Fundy siesta, at least some folks are thinking about how to help you find a place to live in this fine city. It's a tale of two different speeds, that's for sure. And you know, we're all still waiting to hear from them.

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