Canadian Screen Awards to air on TV after all in last-minute programming shift
TORONTO - In a last-minute programming shift, this year's Canadian Screen Awards will broadcast live on television — reversing earlier plans for a streaming-only show. Organizers confirmed the change Thursday, stating that the ceremony celebrating the best in Canadian film, TV and digital media will air Sunday on both CBC TV and CBC Gem. The CEO of the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television Tammy Frick previously said going online-only allowed the show to be more 'flexible.' But that had disappointed some of the top nominees, who told The Canadian Press in March that having their moment on traditional television helps spotlight Canadian talent more widely. The Academy said in a statement the programming reversal came down to scheduling around the NHL playoffs — since there is no game slated for Sunday, they are able to air the show live on CBC TV. The Screen Awards will be handed out at five ceremonies starting Friday, culminating in the final awards and gala hosted by Edmonton-born comic Lisa Gilroy. Leading the television categories with 20 nominations is Citytv's 'Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent,' while on the film side, Matthew Rankin's Winnipeg-shot dramedy 'Universal Language' leads with 13 nods. This report by The Canadian Press was first published May 29, 2025.

Canada Election 2025 Results: When and where to watch
Millions of Canadians—and many abroad, will closely watch as ballot counting gets underway following Monday's federal election. The high-stakes race between Liberal leader Mark Carney and Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre has captured international attention amid concerns over Canada's future economic and political sovereignty. Immediately after voting ends in each zone, election officials will begin counting ballots. Early leads and projections are expected within 30 minutes after the last vote is cast. Due to Canada's multiple time zones, poll closings are staggered throughout the evening. The first polls closed in Newfoundland and Labrador at 7:00 p.m. EDT (midnight BST), while the final polls in British Columbia will close at 10:00 p.m. EDT (3:00 a.m. BST). The biggest wave of poll closings—including key battlegrounds Ontario and Quebec—will happen at 9:30 p.m. EDT (2:30 a.m. BST), a time expected to reveal significant trends and results. Several platforms are providing live, real-time updates and analysis of the election results: As the official government agency overseeing the election, Elections Canada's website will provide the most accurate and up-to-date vote counts, seat projections, voter turnout statistics, and riding-level breakdowns. Preliminary results for the federal election will be published on Elections Canada's website as soon as the first polls close across the country on April 28. The first updates are expected shortly after 7:00 p.m. (EST) on April 28/4.30 am (IST) on April 29, based on data reported by returning officers on election night. CBC, one of Canada's broadcasters, is covering the election across multiple platforms, including CBC TV, CBC News Network, the CBC News app, CBC Gem, and YouTube. Coverage began at 6 a.m. Canadian time and includes live updates, political commentary, and in-depth analysis. This election is seen not just as a domestic political contest, but also as a broader statement on Canada's sovereignty and economic future. With US President Donald Trump's recent comments suggesting that Canada should become the 51st US state, many Canadians have framed the vote as a stand for national independence.
