Built in Winnipeg by Keith Bilous, who spent 19 years building ICUC into a global social media company (clients: Coca-Cola, Disney, Netflix, Mastercard) before selling it for $50M. Now he's applying that infrastructure thinking to local news. Read our story →

Saint John's City Hall is too quiet for comfort. What's brewing?

Your City Hall is too quiet for comfort, right?

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, this past week at City Hall felt like a long wait for the fog to lift, right? Not a lot of big headlines, which, if you've lived here long enough, makes you a touch nervous. It’s like when the harbour’s too calm – you know there’s something brewing.

We've mainly been keeping an eye on the quieter stuff, the things that usually hint at bigger shifts:

* **Development Permits:** Still sifting through those. Who's building, what are they building, and is it going to block off another view of the harbour? That's always the question.

* **The Usual Quiet:** The lack of new civic data? That's not normal. It makes you wonder if it’s a glitch or if they're just holding their cards close to the chest for a bit, right?

It’s these quiet weeks when you gotta dig a bit harder to see what's *not* being said, what's happening behind the scenes up on King's Square. For us in Saint John, that usually means keeping an eye on the big players and what they're up to, because they're always up to somethin'.

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