It depends on the individual province. British Columbia and Yukon do not close their polls until 11 PM Eastern Standard Time. Thankfully the Canadian Election process is closer to our process than the British Election process so it is quicker to count the votes. We should have a sense of where we are at between 9 and 10 Eastern time.
Canada has six time zones, but poll closing times are staggered so that most of them shut at 9:30 p.m. Eastern time regardless of where they are. The Westernmost province British Columbia closes half an hour later, at 10 p.m. Eastern time.
The attack at a Filipino festival in Vancouver that left at least 11 dead might complicate things. Mark Carney was flying to Vancouver to show his support. It was obviously not his fault, but it happened on his watch and could damage the aura of stability he projects.
That is a rational response, but that is not the way elections work. The attack is not likely to swing the election, but it might well cause a dip in support for the Liberals.
ItтАЩs also equally possible Trump saying again that Canada should be the 51st state on election day in Canada might cause a dip in support for the Conservatives.
Election Day has arrived north of the border!
When will we know the results exactly?

Don't think so. The attacker, of Chinese descent, had a history of mental disturbance and the police have ruled out terrorism as a motive.
