As of 12:01AM ET 3/21/2020, John Hopkins desktop page reporting 348 cases for British Columbia, Canada, while spreadsheet showing 271. Canada total published on John Hopkins is 1085 while spreadsheet data shows 943 total.

I am quite sure the desktop page is updated with new data more frequently than the github csv time series files (what you call "spreadsheet").

I happen to have two copies of the desktop page open in my browser right now. One of them was last updated 8 hours ago and it shows the 271 for BC, same as the spreadsheet. The other was updated an hour ago, and shows the 348. The same explanation obviously applies to the Canada total.
