The Census website is available for Linux User since last friday :
http://www12.statcan.ca/IRC/francais/advisory_f.htm

3 days before the end of the sensus period, that's a pity...

Obviously, we should do a "Free our census data" campaign. There's no
urge because this campaign should reach its climax when they will
release the census data (should take some monthes). I think a campaign
specifically designed for the census will be more effective than a
campaign concerning all/any civic data because it's more understandable.
We'll get a better media coverage for this topic for example.

The paper-certified petition is a very good way. I think that meeting
our MPs could also be a good thing. If we could find one or two MP who
could "champion" our ideas, it could be a great help. But we need to
meet them and convince them and "sell" our idea (and not just send mails
and petitions)
