🏛 EXCLUSIVE: CITY HALL DATA — Only on The Desk

Your City Hall went quiet. What are they hiding?

Your City Hall was quiet and we need to know why

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

Right, so this past week down at Saint John City Hall, things have been quieter than the Reversing Falls at slack tide. We were expecting more action, especially after a bit of real estate talk finally started to get serious a while back. But *rien*. Not a peep on new civic data, and the usual hustle and bustle? Just not there.

It's got me wondering, right? Are they just taking a breather, or is there something bigger brewing behind the old stone walls? When City Hall goes this quiet, sometimes it's like the calm before a Fundy storm. We’ll be keeping our eyes peeled, believe you me.
