'Tough to take': New Brunswick grabs unwanted title as Canada's poorest province | CBC News

New Brunswick has officially assumed the title of Canada's poorest province and will begin receiving the most funding per capita from the federal government's equalization support program, starting in April.

The bottom ranking and the poor economic numbers that caused it are unlocking significant new federal financial support for New Brunswick, but that is cold comfort for ending the longtime reign of Prince Edward Island as Canada's neediest province, according to New Brunswick Finance Minister Ernie Steeves.

"Wow. That's tough to take," said Steeves in an interview Tuesday.

This looks so awesome and interesting! I would love to back this! Spread the word about this!

The love scenes are only between male characters, which brings us to the foundation for certain unique aspects of this game: the characters will go on an exploration of their own gender identity, asking themselves “If I had been born a girl, could I have become his girlfriend?” or “Which side of me did he fall in love with, my female self or my male self?”

Film-Maker To Shoot Jamaican 'Peter Pan' - Adaptation Will Show Harsh Realities Of Child Abuse

Jamaican film-maker Aisha Porter-Christie

Jamaican film-maker Aisha Porter-Christie has launched a campaign on the popular Indieogo fundraising platform, seeking to crowd-fund US$4,000 to complete her project,Lost Boy. With a storyline set in Jamaica, the film is an adaptation of the prolific tale of Peter Pan.

Porter-Christie, who studied at the prestigious Columbia University in New York, says that while making the film allowed her to explore her own love of J.M. Barrie's classic tale, Lost Boy brings attention to the serious issue of Jamaican children going missing.

"Upwards of 100 children go missing every month. That's frightening in any context, but when you take into consideration that there are less than three million people in Jamaica, you start to realise that it is actually a crisis," she said.

In Lost Boy, a 12-year-old boy named Peter Clarke lives in the hills of rural St Catherine, having run away from an abusive orphanage. He has regular, but secret, meetings with his best friend (Marissa) and, on one visit, things don't go so well. "He's precocious," Porter-Christie said of her 'Peter'. "He has a deep sense of adventure, a hero complex, though he's just 12, but most of all, he thinks he can handle anything that life throws his way," she continued. "When it becomes clear that this visit isn't going to be as routine as the others, Peter has some tough lessons to learn. The two most important things that he takes away is that he's still a child and, unfortunately, not everyone can be saved," she said.

Porter-Christie, who has worked as a writing intern for the Emmys, led the Lost Boyteam as director, writer, and producer. She worked alongside Gareth Daley (director of photography) and Thelma Porter (co-producer). Chicago-based Jackie Todd also worked as a producer on the film.

Casting Jamaica as a "massive playground", Porter-Christie says Lost Boy showcases the "joys of growing up surrounded by overwhelming tropical beauty and the richness of Jamaican culture". "The intersection of those two things alone make for a very interesting childhood," she said. "But we also explore the dark side of growing up in Jamaica. The rates of child abuse and murder continue to rise and it is extremely troubling," said Porter-Christie, who did her undergraduate studies at Ryerson University in Toronto and was named one of Canada's 'Top 10 Grads to Watch' in 2012 by Playback Magazine.

She intends to submit Lost Boy to several film festivals once post-production is complete. Her other short film, IDYLLWILD, played at the 2014 Bahamas International Film Festival, and has since been nominated for a number of awards at the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival, and the Madrid International Film Festival.

Film-Making Expensive

"Film-making is one of the best things. It's very fulfilling, very rewarding, but it's also very expensive", said Porter-Christie. "We need to clear up a few bills, as well as pay for post-production work. Things like editing, meals for the actors and crew, transportation, and submission fees for a few of the film festivals, we want to get into. And we know that everyone can't donate. So if you can help by spreading the word, then that's great!" she said.

Since childhood, Porter-Christie has been obsessed with the story of Peter and Wendy, and Lost Boy loosely adapts the premise of J.M. Barrie's beloved classic to a modern, realistic, Jamaican setting. It centres on Peter Clarke, an artful, precocious boy with a deep sense of adventure and a bit of a hero complex. When he discovers his best friend Marissa is in trouble, he tries to take matters into his own hands. But as things quickly spiral out of control, he is forced to face the reality that he is only a child and that not everyone can be saved.

Guys, you gotta check this out. Seriously, it would be amazing for things like this to exist.

In a world where we're so controlled by packaging the creation of a packaging that is more appealing to women for a product that EVERYONE should have on hand is really important.

Or at least I think so.

But come on, the packaging on these condoms is adorable.
