Saint John City Hall is quiet. Why are you worried?

Your City Hall's quiet this week, and that's usually when you worry

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

Right, so City Hall. Even when things are quiet, you gotta keep an eye on what's bubbling under. This week, it’s mostly been the *silence*, right? No new civic data came in, which is… well, it’s not ideal.

### What's Not Happening

It’s less about what *did* happen, and more about what *didn’t*.

* **No new permits:** Still no big construction permits to talk about, nothing new blocking views of the harbour. * **Data portal quiet:** The city’s open data portal, usually a decent spot for a peek behind the curtain, has been as quiet as a Sunday morning on the Kingston Peninsula.

I'll tell you what, sometimes the lack of news is the news itself. You start wondering what they’re brewing up when the pot isn’t boiling over, eh? Ça me rend un peu méfiant, right? Makes you think. Are they just tidying up, or is something bigger being planned away from public view? We'll be keeping an eye on it, mind you.

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