“Greed is good,” proclaimed Gordon Gekko, the fictional corporate raider in Oliver Stone’s 1987 movie Wall Street. Written as a story about the perils of greed, it was adopted by a generation (or two) of bankers and executives as a kind of manta. Then 10 years ago, the Great Recession hit and the general public began to realize that for the vast majority of them, “Greed is good” was coming at their expense. It came in waves of factory closures, home foreclosures, business restructuring and aggressive cost cutting. It came with stories of deals that were technically legal, but while they may have followed the letter of the law, they weren’t true to the intent.

80 years ago. Tuesday, Feb. 23, 1937: Last Friday, the Neepawa Winter Club held another of their semi monthly meetings. About 40 young people met at Brookers and from there hiked to Howden’s hill where two hours or more were spent skiing and tobogganing. When all were feeling a little the worse for the strenuous exercise they returned to the club rooms, where hot-dogs and coffee were served. After the last crumb had been stowed away, dancing came next on the program, with music supplied by Verne Lord and Al Brooker.
