blackout blocked?

An article in today's Globe and Mail, "Election blackout rules lifted" is a serious bomshell: due to a BC Supreme court decision, Elections Canada is lifting the blackout on election results as polls close in different timezones.

This is truly odd and will either have a profound effect or no effect at all. It could mean that British Columbian's make or break the Federal election. Imagine knowing how Ottawa and Quebec voted before the polls close here? Very weird. As usual, I will probably vote early in the day, then spend the rest of the day badgering others to vote.
