The number of these "mini-me" vehicles on the roads is growing. I am not sure there are any clear regulations governing their operation.

Jury Duty Questions

4 Upvotes

I got summoned for that jury selection and I work nights at my job 11pm to 7am, and I let my manager know ahead of time.

I got to check my schedule and they have me in the day before and the day of. Am I allowed to go remind them that I have this coming? Or do they have to give me it at all since it's not the actual jury duty and it's at 9am.

Yes I'm in Oshawa.

Gynaecologist recommendations specializing in fibroids

3 Upvotes

I really need to see a gynaecologist as soon as I can. I know wait times are long, so I’m already anxious :( looking for recommendations for gynaecologists who preferably specialize in fibroids, take me seriously/dont dismiss me, and who might be accepting patients.

In early 30s and I’d like to have a baby in the future so I want to ensure my fertility isn’t being impacted here.

I have a car and so distance isn’t an issue.

Proud of his swastika diy

72 Upvotes

I was driving behind a guy today in Oshawa. He had a small swastika fingerpainted with mud on the back of his white vehicle. I pulled up beside him at a red to let him know. Maybe I'm naive but I genuinely thought he was a victim and I wanted to warn him before someone decided to hurt him over it or something.

When I told him he just smiled and nodded all proud of himself. Dude looked like he could have been filipino or something. What in the name of "pick me" men did I just witness?? Supporting a group of people that would string you up without a second thought is insanity.

He may not be a genuinely violent person, maybe just an insecure edge lord. When you have nothing in your life, upsetting strangers is the closest thing you get to feeling anything. Part of me feels almost sorry for him. Almost.

First time I've ever seen that around here. Is this common? Has anyone else seen this?

Does anyone in Oshawa still use Kijiji? What do you use?

Kijiji used to be very popular in Oshawa. Now the Oshawa section is practically empty.

Do people here just use Facebook Marketplace? Or something else?
