As polls close across Canada tonight, many in our Langley community will be anxiously watching to see how this critical federal election unfolds. For working families and union members who have been following the campaigns closely, tonight represents the culmination of months of debates about workers' rights, affordable housing, healthcare access, and environmental justice.
While eastern provinces will already be reporting results when our BC polls close at 7 PM, there are several trusted sources you can turn to for comprehensive coverage that centers working-class concerns and community perspectives. Here's where you can follow along tonight:
CBC: National Coverage with Interactive Tools

Canada's national public broadcaster will be running comprehensive election night coverage, with their interactive results page offering real-time updates on races across the country.
Their coverage typically includes detailed riding-by-riding breakdowns, voter turnout analysis, and expert commentary.
While CBC provides extensive resources, it's worth noting that public broadcasting has faced significant pressure during this campaign.
Pierre Poilievre and the Conservative Party have vowed to defund the CBC, so watching the returns on this platform may provide some level of bitter irony or sweet justice, depending on the outcome at the end of the night.
