Canada election info & link for results: 6 time zones. First polls close at 7pm USA ET. [View all]

You should be able to watch Canadian Broadcasting Corporation CBC live coverage in several ways for free:

The ballots are simple with 3 to 7 names (though Pierre Poilievre's riding has 91 names because of tricksters) and are hand counted. I expect about 98% of the 343 ridings (seats) will have been called by midnight ET or earlier. We should know by about 11 pm ET whether Liberals or Conservatives have won, if not a bit earlier. Whether it will be a majority or minority government may take longer..
