Can't tell if you're joking or not...Would be a funny joke though.

Those two places are the opposite of Oshawa. I suppose the similarities are that they have GTA style suburban subdivisions (North Oshawa) and that they are on the lake.

Burl/Oak are arguably the two best suburbs in the country while Oshawa would be way down the list. Though Oshawa can also be seen as a standalone centre, hence being a CMA, the other two not so much.

As for being pretentious, I don't see that as being very palpable. In certain areas, such as south of the QEW down to the lake, it might be. This is my experience though, whether before I lived here or after I made the move here eight years ago.
