Mount Allison University

Um, hit by a car, uh, this one was, had some ticks on it, so we took the ticks off and then took out its liver, uh, 'cause it wasn't using it anymore, so we'll test what the ticks might have given the squirrel.

Biologist Vett Lloyd there in the Lloyd Tick Laboratory at Mount Allison University.

Always up for a talk on ticks.

While the tick is sucking your blood for days, while it's doing that, it's spitting in anticoagulants because it wants your blood to stay nice and leaky so it can keep sucking it up.

It's called CITRIC.

And one of the people who set up this center is Nicoletta Ferraione.

We collaborate, uh, with different, uh, researchers, so specifically we have a collaboration with Dr. Vet Lloyd at Mount Allison University.

She has been, uh, a great asset in, uh, helping us to set up especially the molecular equipment.

Tara Taylor first saw the banner draped outside a house in Antigonish Friday evening.

It read, "Drop-off zone, Acadia girlfriends." She says the banner and a second one that referenced Mount Allison students left her shocked and disappointed, but not surprised.

She's been a professor at St. FX for more than two decades and says not a year goes by when a student doesn't approach her to tell her they've been sexually assaulted.

I would say women at St. FX have been kind of screaming about this for decades.

I thought this was a valuable clue, but, um, a few of the pages of the dissertation were missing.

I found out, uh, that the author of the dissertation, his papers were housed at Mount Allison University in New Brunswick, but they were under restriction.

I asked for those restrictions to be lifted.

Uh, that permission was granted, and then I went in and I found that this philosopher had also been a spy, uh, for MI6 between, uh, the world wars, World War I and World War II.

Though there's a real emphasis that shifts as you move through the book.

[instrumental music] I was really interested in overt political art when I was studying in the fine arts program at Mount Allison, and I've been interested in community politics since I was a child, like eight or nine years old.

My grandmother was a political activist for most of her life, and she taught me about systematic oppression from as early as, you know, nine or 10.

I think that older generations might see the younger generations and encourage them to think back of who they are, where they came from, who's their family, who's their community, and even try to consider learning a bit about the language.

Let's go to the AUS because there's a big old matchup coming out of the RSEC this week that we'll save for the end.

Connor, St. Mary's, Mount Allison.

This is the biggest dog in the eastern half of the country facing off against a team in Mount A that's quite young, trying to find themselves, but Really, that fight for who's the number two team in the AUS seems to be the big matchup this year.

Yeah, Man Utd coming off a bit of a tough one last week to St. Effect's 42-6 loss for them.
