I would recommend that get_object_or_404, with the 404 page enabled, would be better suited for this application. Very similar methods, but this way just handles all the heavy lifting. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/shortcuts/...

The author left out one point that is too often ignored.we just font have enough people.why don't we have amazon prime? Because Canada is just so huge,and our population is spread so thinly.the population is so much smaller than the USA that its so much harder to launch and support a country wide service. Plus,we don't have LLC or a proper equivalent.
