Must be something regional, then. I get the same messages from both my phone and my laptop, which use different connections from each other.
It says that my browser is working, and Cloudfare in Vancouver is working, but there is an error at the Host: 338.com.
I had the same error (BC).
If this is with reference to 338Canada.com, it’s working fine here in southern Ontario. And I’m delighted to see not just a Liberal lead, but a likely Liberal majority! I’ll be doing my best to contribute to that lead, though I live in a persistently Conservative riding, unforunately. At least I can contribute to the popular vote stats.
Mark Carney is an accomplished economist who is deserving of our confidence and respect. PP is a fucking moron. The NDP is currently irrelevant.
338.com is not the right site. For one thing, it points to a Chinese DNS service.
The correct site is:
Sorry, I typed in the link by hand when I mentioned the error message.
here’s the error message, copied and pasted :
Host
Error
I am trying 338canada.com
When I get the error message, it shows the url in my browser is 338canada.com
The URLs you posted are the right ones and they work fine here. I have no idea what’s wrong from your end.
Whenever something weird like this happens, I go into a Windows command prompt window and type “tracert {whatever URL}” which at least tells me where the path is broken.
Anyway, in other news, Politico has commissioned a pretty detailed poll. It matches the other polls shsowing Carney and the Liberals ahead of Poilievre and the Conservatives. Some of the more detailed questions are interesting.
-
Carney has a net positive amongst Canadians as a whole (up by 10 points);
-
Poilievre has a net negative amongst Canadians as a whole (down by 7 points);
-
Carney appears to have defeated the “just like Justin” attack, with most voters saying he’s a new leader;
-
Trump is despised (-65%);
-
United States is considered hostile or an enemy, with worse numbers than China.

(The pollster was Focaldata from London.)
I think that in this day and age, any politician, in any country, having a net positive approval rating is remarkable.
Philippe Fournier, who runs 338canada, says that it was taken down by an attack:
(yes, I’m linking to X but that’s because it seems to be the only one with the post.)
New guy. Sorta like the car that hasn’t yet been driven off the lot and has high book value; once that happens, sharp drop is likely.
Not quite a done deal..two full days of voting left.
Things have narrowed up.
A hung parliament would be a horror given the dumpfs horror to the south.
(off topic) “Practice your French here” … I work in Quebec in a bizarrely franglais way and occasionally forward emails to colleagues in western Canada who don’t really speak French but I just say “let me know if you need a translation…”. Occasionally I’ll be asked to clarify a nuance, but every one of them at least makes the effort to use Google translate first.
I’ll be voting on Monday. The weather looks great so I’ll probably just wander over to the polling station over lunchtime.
I want a resounding rejection of the conservatives, Trump, and all that bullshit so I’m pleased to see a Liberal lead in the polls. I live in a Liberal stronghold and my personal politics are further to the left of them, though. I usually feel fine with voting my conscience but wonder if I should just lend my voice to the largest “left” faction (such as it is) or just keep voting as I’d prefer. I’m not sure how that gamble plays out.
Same here. My voting place is at the church around the corner, so I’ll just walk down on Monday. Weather should be nice, and I could use a walk.
I would love that as well but recall this would be a fourth term for the Libs and to achieve a majority that far along would be historic.
The right wing dings on the mcycle forum I’m a member of are frothing at the mouth..
But it ain’t over until the fat lady warbles. 
And, especially pertaining to what’s going on down south, essential.
Da…a hung parliament or a con minority would be a horror and Carney would lose respect in his efforts.
As it is even now …don’t like that the popular vote is so close.
200+ seats would be a strong mandate.
Sure, there’s usually a need to refresh and kick a party out once in a while, but I would never want a shift to the right for that. As I said, my personal stance is much more left. I don’t particularly care for the Liberal party itself.
Then again, I don’t care much for any politician or “team”. I think anyone who wants a career in politics shouldn’t be allowed to have one…the whole system sucks and is full of self-serving people who will do what they want for themselves and not for the people they are meant to be representing.
That was pretty much my choice. I’ve shifted back and forth between Liberal and NDP the last few elections, and actually donated to the NDP this year, but sending a message to Trump by giving Carney the biggest mandate we can is the determining factor for me. I’m also in a Liberal stronghold, so it won’t make a difference to the makeup of Parliament, but the popular vote totals will tell a different tale.
Finally day of polling by Nanos
Full report, and accompanying CTV article.
I predicted back on the 12th that :
The day before the debates nothing happened, so I doubled down on my prediction of a Carney win. Now at the final day of the election nothing happened, so I’ll triple down on a Liberal majority.
But I must repeat, it didn’t need to pan out like this, it could’ve taken many different turns. However… IF PP would continue being the same PP, AND Carney would continue being himself too, the other parties wouldn’t be able to break the trajectory of this election. Take a look at this screenshot of CBC’s poll aggregator.
It’s clear, the die was cast back in Jan 6th (I wonder what happened then). If all the party leaders stayed on the same track, never veered, nor had a grand fumble, barring any other external event that would re-contextualize the leaders. The voters had already made their decisions.
ETA: I’ll just state it clearly. Back in Jan 6th, left leaning voters (largely, but not totally, from the NDP) decided, en masse, to deny PP getting power. Although we have seen the Conservatives and Bloc be able to regain a few wayward voters, (minor, but real regains); these largely NDP voters have made their choice and have not wavered.
