Polls close in Newfoundland and Labrador at 10am AEDT. The last polls in British Columbia and Yukon close at midday. Even though there is 4 1/2 hours gap between the opposite ends of Canada, there are staggered voting times which narrows the gap between close of polls.
I’ll try and update this post throughout the morning as the results trickle in. You can follow it all at the CBC Canada Votes website.
1:34pm: So I guess this hasn’t worked out well, because of Canada’s broadcast laws. I’ll post this evening with a full breakdown of results, but it looks like the Conservatives have gained about a dozen seats, giving them a stronger minority. The NDP have gained slightly, while the Liberals and BQ went backwards. Elizabeth May was not elected in Central Nova.
9:15am: It turns out that there are Canadian laws which prevent the broadcast of results to places still voting. This will probably mean that CBC won’t start broadcasting online until polls close in Vancouver. But there should be text-based results available online.
