Online Census Discriminates Against Open Source Users

Now here's a cause I can get behind. I personally think the government should be using nothing but open source software. I think people on this site are really grabbing at straws trying all these different angles for reasons to boycott the census. Who knows, I might boycott it yet. I'll just sit here at home, using my open source software, while sipping a tall cool glass of Mountain Crest beer.

As a Canadian living overseas and a confirmed user of both Linux and Firefox and refusing to let my computer be compromised by the slack security of IE I guess I have no choice but to boycott this census.

Having worked for Bell Canada in the past I can understand the comments that came from that source but as a (former) active participant in the democratic process I don't understand how this can be allowed to happen without much of an outcry.

<p> It also looks like disabled Canadians are unable to use the online Census, because it is not W3C compatible. <p> See this <a href="http://trends.newsforge.com/comments.pl?sid=55978&cid=125995">comment</a>. </p><p>---<br>If you don't like these ideas, I've got others. --Marshall McLuhan
