Under Canadian election law radio and TV stations can't broadcast election results until the polls have closed in the area they service. The idea is to prevent voters from being unduly influenced by election results elsewhere in the country. As a result the national CTV and CBC news channels are currently blocked here in Saskatchewan, where the polls won't close for just over an hour. But the thought came to mind that the Sun News Channel might be accessable, since it's a new channel, and therefore whoever arranges such things might have missed it. But it too is currently blocked.
Frankly it wouldn't matter to me if I knew the results elsewhere in the country before I voted. My mind isn't going to be changed on the day of the election.
