Oshawa is a city, though few realise it to be populated enough to be called a city, that is about an hour from the borders of Toronto.

The only reason Oshawa exists, is because it was built around an old military intelligence training base durring WW2... maybe WW1.. not sure.

The reason most people dont realise it's a city is because of its large area, most of which is undeveloped, and the very spread out population.

Why is it viewed poorly by EVERY canadian in existence?

Well not all. Man I really got to get out more! I've lived in Ontario for 25 years and never knew Oshawa had the reputation. I just thought it was some town east of Toronto
