Firstly I would like to congratulate the Ontario Liberal government and their highly-paid media consultants and public relations team. They have done a very impressive job of muddying the waters and confusing the media and the general public regarding the facts and the implications of Bill 115. Devil is in the details: Bill 115 gives immense power to education minister << Excellent! http://t.co/gx1XL8Fw #bdss
- The passing of Bill 115 on Sept. 11, 2012 gives the government the right to break numerous Ontario laws that have been on the books for decades
- The Ontario Labour Relations Act gives workers in Ontario the legal right to negotiate their working conditions with their employers
- The Ontario Liberal government, supported by the Conservatives, created Bill 115 which took away the ability of democratically elected school boards to negotiate collective agreements with their employees
- it gave the Minister of Education the legal right to unilaterally impose any working conditions she chooses on a group of Ontario workers (teachers)
- It then states (and there are dozens of similarly draconian clauses in Bill 115), “The Ontario Labour Relations Board shall not inquire into or make a decision whether a provision of this Act is constitutionally valid or is in conflict with the Human Rights Code.”
- It also states, “Terms and Conditions included in a collective agreement under or by virtue of this Act shall not be questioned or reviewed by an arbitrator, an arbitration board or the Ontario Labour Relations Board.”
- Recently, Broten made the ludicrous statement that as “a sign of good faith” she would rescind Bill 115
- Her statement is akin to my taking out a contract on you. Imagine how you would feel if after the hit man I’d hired had broken both your legs and smashed in your face, I then assured you that I planned to rescind the contract as a sign of good faith.
- it is about the breakdown of the democratic and legal process for collective bargaining in Ontario
- All workers in Ontario should be very afraid of the unilateral power that has been handed to the Minister of Education by the Liberal and Conservative members of the Ontario legislature
- I urge the citizens of Ontario to fight for your legal and democratic rights and mine

"Education Minister Laurel Broten’s decision to impose contracts on Ontario’s teachers and school boards marks the culmination of a dispute that has been damaging to both schools and the Ontario Liberal party."

"After finding a lot of people having the same issues with their Rep2's that I have been wrestling with such as curling, the extruder stopping extruding, and funky starts to prints I figured I would share a few tips that I have found help lead to successful prints. "
- Purchase some Thermal Paste and apply it between where the heater block and the heat sink meet.
- To help with leveling I would recommend buying a feeler gauge.
- Before starting a print, I always run the 'Load Filament' script from the 'Change Filament' menu under Utilities on your bot. This helps get the old and saturated filament in the nozzle out and get fresh stuff in there which helps with both adhesion and the quality of the first couple layers resulting in a nicer print.
