We don't have blackout rules, we used to, but not anymore.
Now I live in the second most Easterly timezone (Newfoundland is a half hour head of us) so I could be wrong as I'd see the results as they came in pretty much right away regardless.
I thought they did away with that years ago. I seem to remember CP freaking out because Atlantic Canada was voting Liberal and it looked like they had this massive lead, when in reality Atlantic Canada always voted Liberal and the fine folks in Alberta just weren't used to seeing the numbers come in without Quebec and Ontario already up.
