SCC upholds election result blackout rules.
Come election night I’ll know what the eastern trends are well before the polls in Ontario close, others, a long way west of me, will know what happened here hours before their polling stations close.
– it’s called the Internet, and the free flow of information cannot be stopped.


About the only thing “they” can do is block websites that they know about. But they can’t block e-mail.
If anyone in Newfoundland, and then travelling westward, wants to send me some “rumors” on election night, my e-mail address is on my blog profile. I can post “rumors” all night long…
Nobody in their right mind would try to regulate rumors. They’d be laughed out of the country.
