Well, on pain of $500 fine or 3 months fine I logged in to fill out my Canadian census online. Only to be confronted with this site.
Now I have this joy to look forward to,

Great job with the $500 million Lockheed. (in case you missed it that was called sarcasm). I hit a couple more links trying to get to the bottom of this weirdness and found this page.
This is what we get for half a billion?????? What a disgrace.[tags]Census, Site Failure, Lockheed, 2006, Canadian census[/tags]
You know what the really funny thing is. In 5 years, when they do this again, the government will not “remember” about this failure and still go with the lowest bidder. Regardless of previous success or failure.
Guess who will get the contract in 5 years.
Sadly, I think you hit the nail square on the head.
