It appears Elections Canada’s website is experiencing some technical issues this evening, just as polls in the 45th Canadian federal general election are beginning to come to a full close across the country.

As of the time of writing, voting stations are still open in British Columbia, Alberta, parts of Nunavut, the Northwest Territories, and the Yukon. Polling stations in B.C. will be the last to close at 7 p.m. PDT.

The issues with the website first began at approximately 4 p.m. PDT.

          we got you, homies. i still can’t believe the swing, but then again i can. it’s weird getting used to this new reality sometimes. i can’t emphasize just how dead in the water the liberal party was just a few months ago.

      Hard to tell at this point. Could be that Putin is playing games as usual, or that the site is just experiencing way more traffic than expected. I mean when was the last time America paid any attention to our election? Like never??
