Your Saint John City Hall is *too* quiet. What's up?

Your City Hall's quiet streak is getting spooky

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

Well, if you've been with us this week, you'll have noticed a distinct trend coming out of Saint John City Hall: a whole lot of nothing, right? It's been *tranquille* doesn't even begin to cover it. The usual buzz from the council chambers? *Rien*. The open data portal? Quieter than a Sunday morning on King Street.

Now, we've had a few weather advisories to keep us on our toes, a bit of that classic Fundy mist rolling in, but from the folks down at City Hall? We've been left scratching our heads.

Here's the gist of it:

* **Silence from City Hall:** No new civic data, no big announcements, just... quiet.

* **Weather Updates:** The only real news has been about whether you need your slicker.

* **A Waiting Game:** We're all just waiting to see what gives, right?

I'll tell you what, it's not often the biggest news out of Saint John is the lack of news. Makes you wonder what's brewing beneath the surface, or if everyone's just enjoying the spring a little too much. But for now, the silence from City Hall is speaking volumes.

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