    From google:

    --------
    Carny, also spelled carnie, is an informal term used in North America
    for a traveling carnival employee, and the language they use,
    particularly when the employee operates a game ("joint"), food stand
    ("grab", "popper", or "floss wagon"), or ride ("ride jock") at a carnival. --------

    I prefer MC over PP, but probably will vote NDP, though the Liberal
    candidate in my riding (Cape Spear), Tom Osborne, is quite popular
    and will probably be easily elected. The NDP has a somewhat better
    chance in the St. John’s East riding, which should be a 3-way race.

    Also it could be that TRump came out again recently against Canada
    because he wants to give Mark Carney a boost leading up to the
    April 28 Election Day.

    As for who holds all the cards, it seems not to matter if it
    is just the US with the only trump. :-)

    Yeah, the NDP need seats.

    That's what I think too. Why does he prefer Carney? I think Carney talked to him in a way that flattered Trump somehow. PP sure wouldn't know how to do that.
