2006 Census Site Won't "Count Me In"

2006 Census Site Won't "Count Me In"

Using Firefox for Mac OS X, I tried the online submission process for the Canadian Census 2006 and discovered that I didn't have "the minimum requirements" to do so. A subsequent page even lists Firefox as one of the browsers I could download to fill out the questionnaire. Darren Barefoot has been recently complaining about technology companies shutting him out (Microsoft, Apple). Now the Canadian government's doing it! (Insert more exclamation points here depending on your level of outrage.) There's a boycott of the Canadian census because evidently Lockheed Martin was contracted to do the collecting, but StatsCan won't let me defy it.
