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..

2. If the Liberals win solidly in Maritimes, Quebec and Ontario...

It’s a Liberal majority government.

I’ll be watching and hoping.

6. I have been following Carney and this election closely since i saw him on Jon Stewart in January. I was very impressed

and started paying a lot of attention. I think he's got the perfect background to deal with not only Trump but global instability. ANd he's already got the trust of and connections with European leaders. ANd he has compassion and empathy and is brilliant. All things desperately needed. Trump is leaving a big hole in a lot areas where the US used to take the lead only a few months ago.
