Now I'm certain you're just making up reasons to be mad.
Spock is repeatedly depicted as being an established expert across a truly improbable range of topics (including, of all things, brain reattachment surgery). Spock is to basically everything else what Kirk is to "talking computers into killing themselves".
If you can accept that you can accept Pulaski.
I assume you hated Spock, then. Buddy was literally an expert in everything! McCoy needs help reinstalling Spock's own brain? Spock is on it! Computer seems to show Kirk killed a guy by accident? Nbd, Spock is a computer expert, he'll figure it out with chess (did I mention he's a chess master?). Need to implode the engines to escape from a collapsing planet? Also warp engine specialist! Oh and he can play the piano, that Vulcan guitar thing, and also happens to be deeply knowledgeable in earth history and culture as the needs require (including being able to recognize Brahms handwriting by sight).
You're right. In the former case it's utterly implausible that every ship doctor would not be an expert in a thing but still somehow be able to cure that thing. Every. Damn. Time.
At least with Pulaski they gave an excuse (well, assuming I buy your claims; frankly, I think you're overstating things quite a bit).
LOL you've described literally every doctor in Star Trek ever. I mean, Christ, they lampshaded this with McCoy when he exclaimed "By golly, Jim - I'm beginning to think I can cure a rainy day!" when he treated a fucking silicon rock monster.
Honestly at this point this is just making up reasons to be mad.
It's mainly about protection of the people from the government.
Lol sure there John Wayne.
I legit can't think of another country with people that LARP more about revolution than the US. Most affluent country in the world and you're constantly imagining youselves forming up and fighting back against tanks and helicopters (or your fellow citizens who happen to vote for the other team). It'd be funny if it wasn't so tragic and bizarre.
Yeah but most of the characters on TNG started out as two dimensional caricatures of what they actually became. I don't think the Pulaski character is any more deserving of criticism than early Picard or Riker or, heck, Data himself (who I'd argue started off as Albino Spock).
And yet we know in Measure of a Man that Pulaski was far from unique in her views, and was in fact a) quite tame about it and b) ended up changing her mind, showing on-screen how a person can change in a positive way. That's a far more compelling (and realistic) message than everyone just unquestioningly accepting the one and only android in all of Starfleet holding a senior role on the Starfleet flagship.
Think of it like "The Devil in the Dark". It would've been incredibly boring if everyone just immediately accepted the Horta right off the bat instead of seeing it as an unthinking monster. The journey is in the message that you can come to understand something different from you and accept it not just in spite of those differences but for them.
Everyone simply accepting Data on the Enterprise right off the bat without question was, frankly, lazy writing. And they figured that out eventually, hence episodes like Measure of a Man.
So, just like Bones?
I'm with some of the other folks around here: Pulaski was a better character. Conflict between the ship doctor and the captain makes for more interesting narrative opportunities, and Pulaski was great specifically because she was willing to stand up to Picard and be a pain in the ass.
Fans just didn't like her because she didn't immediately see Data as a person, but even that was interesting because not everyone would, and giving voice to that again created interesting ways to explore the implications of Data's existence.
No, being "impartial" would be highlighting both the number of covered and not covered so the reader appreciates just how many people the UCP wants to leave behind. "Big number is bigger" is not how impartiality is measured.
My favourite was this bit:
Poilievre said many Canadians already have access to drug coverage through workplace plans that may offer better benefits than those the NDP-backed Liberal plan eventually could offer.
A 2022 Conference Board of Canada report found that about 24.6 million Canadians are already enrolled in private drug plans.
Disappointed in the CBC here. What they should've said is that over 15 million people are not enrolled in a private drug plan, as most people won't do the math and 24.6M people seems like a big number.
Moreover, many of the people most in need of drugs--the elderly, disabled, and those dealing with chronic health conditions--are far less likely to be employed and have access to coverage.
It would've certainly made a lot more sense! Which, granted, for that episode is a fairly low bar (as much as I love it for it's campy absurdity).
