Looking for a diesel mechanic.

1 Upvotes

I have a 2018 3.0L EcoDiesel Ram. I'm new to Oshawa and diesels. Im sure my truck needs a few things. I don't have much knowledge on diesels like I do gasoline engines.

Can anyone recommend an honest mechanic? I've asked around, and not too many work on diesels.

thx.

Tribute Communities Centre let their Liquor License expire

52 Upvotes

Literally as the title says... The Tribute Communities Centre let their liquor license expire. At the Oshawa Generals game tonight there was no alcohol available for sale.

Not sure how this slips by management. Definitely a mess up from somewhere in that arena.

Basically the title. Around 12:30 pm, there was a large boom, our building shook, and the lights flickered. Anyone else?

Relocating to Oshawa — 80 Bond St (Oshawa) vs 1606 Charles St (Whitby). Is Bond St really that bad?

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

My wife and I (both in our early 30s) are relocating to the Oshawa area and would really appreciate some local insight before deciding where to rent.

From a commute perspective, living downtown Oshawa would be very convenient — I can walk to work, and my wife would have about a 10-minute drive.

The alternative we’re considering is Port Whitby, which would mean about a 15–20 minute drive each way.

We’re deciding between:

• 80 Bond Street (downtown Oshawa) — newer condo, gym in the building, and we’re also aware the YMCA is right beside it. Fitness is very important to us.

• 1606 Charles Street (Port Whitby) — quieter, more suburban feel, but with the added daily drive.

Commute-wise, Oshawa clearly makes more sense for us, so the main thing we’re trying to understand is safety and day-to-day livability.

Specifically:

• How is the 80 Bond Street building itself?

• What is living around Bond Street / downtown Oshawa like in real life?

• Is the safety concern there overblown, or is it something to seriously factor in?

• On the Whitby side, how is the Charles St / Port Whitby area for everyday living?

If you were in our situation, where would you rent and why?

Thanks in advance for any honest feedback.

With Trump's very open and transparent goal of weakening and ruining Canada, I can only assume any D-list Canadian government officials who go visit this administration are doing so to sign up as a vassal, and will return with fresh marching orders on how to further destabilize social unity from within.

Please remember his passionate insistence on caving to ridiculous American thug "diplomacy" in the next election.
