Interesting. I've never had it, but have heard from people that Apple TV is basically worth getting one of the free trials, watching all the good stuff and then cancelling.

Well, I suppose if you were going to watch TV 24/7 during the free period that would be possible.

There is a lot of good content.

Simple answer, The reason Carney is appealing to many people is it wouldn't simply be more of the same.

The reason why people are so dissatisfied with the liberals is because of incompetent leadership and incompetent public policy over the time they have been in government.

The only reason they have survived is because the conservatives have been equally incompetent, have at least demonstrated that they are more confident.

Over the last two years, Trudeau has blundered even more so that even the conservatives look more competent.

I get the impression you think you're being clever. But I don't know what you're trying to say with this.
People get away with criticising dodgy Muslim regimes all the time without being blasted as islamophobic (by anyone who gets listened to anyway. Obviously some try it. ).

What I wanted to confirm was what I suspect(ed) that you do not endorse the same "tolerate and contain" approach when it comes to anti-Muslim sentiment.

That's not my view of anti semitism.
And the two situations just don't compare. As said, people get away with criticising Muslim regimes all the time without anyone who matters crying islamophobia.
Remember the fuss around the world Cup for instance. Those who attempted to insist anyone complaining was just an islamophobe were an ignored minority.
