No. Canada only uses vote scanning machines in some cities' municipal elections, where voters elect Mayors, Town Councilors, and Public or Catholic school board members.

In Federal and Provincial elections, voters only elect their Member of Parliament. There is no justification for scanning ballots. Normally, it takes the two people at the voting booth table about an hour to count all their ballots and report the results. They are paid for the day to check voter IDs, mark them off the voters' list, hand them their ballots, and count the box after closing at 8:00PM

In close elections, the District Chief Returning Officer, a Judge, and Party Reps of the two leading parties count all the ballots together. My friend was the Chief Returning Officer in a 2004 recount. She counted 13,460 ballots and rejected 69 of them. It doesn't take that long. By this time, every State could have done a hand recount. This American election is a complete lawfare farce of pretend counting.

Good to know Canada counts them properly.

With the liberals and NDP at the the helm, the pressure is on to degrade the system. They used Covid to promote mail-in voting. There have been referendums and movement to replace our system with proportional representation like New Zealand has. The thing that stops them, is they realize that proportional representation won't help the established parties. Rather, it will lead to regional separatist parties. Eventually the country would fall apart.
