    Bernie, from Weekend at Bernies (1989). I want to watch that movie, I've heard it's terrible. From Wikipedia:

    "The film stars Andrew McCarthy and Jonathan Silverman as young insurance corporation employees who discover that their boss, Bernie, is dead, after arriving at his house. [They attempt] to convince people that Bernie is still alive until they can leave to prevent them from being falsely suspected for causing his death"

    Plus - I think Justin would be the guy to talk to, in this case. he's always been an inclusive type -- almost his first act as PM was to choose ministers who "looked like Canada." Women, First Nations, South Asians etc., people who do indeed reflect the face of the nation.

    I think (and hope) he'd be concerned that a University would choose to act this way towards a Canadian born elsewhere.

    Thanks, Dustin. And I shared your enthusiasm for terrible pictures. My favourite director was Alan Smithee. :)
