Your Canadian tax dollars at work

Stats Canada is doing the Census 2006. Beside the political and privacy concerns that are being handled, it should be noted that the tax dollars are being used to prevent access to the online census to people NOT running Windows or MacOS. Even worse: if you use made-in-Canada Xandros operating system, you are also out in the blue. How can a governement discriminate a company based and operating in its own country?
Off course, the hotline open from May 1st between 8AM and 9PM (no timezone specified) 7 days a week have a message saying they are closed when calling a 10:30AM EST.
This is a similar issue I raised before with their incompatibe unemployment.
