An expensive “hobby”… and he apparently can’t even keep track of how many horses he owns. More than 10, fewer than 30, according to his estimate. 🐎 #ABPoli #Alberta #cdnpoli
Infographic titled “Jeff Rath’s Horse-Racing ‘Hobby’” with a free Adobe Stock photograph of a horse and the caption “Free Adobe Stock image. Not a depiction of Jeff Rath.” The infographic summarizes horse-racing information reported by Global News from court proceedings. One section states that Rath said he did not know exactly how many horses he owned, eventually estimating “more than 10 and less than 30.” Another states that, according to Equibase, horses listed under Rath’s owner profile have earned nearly $500,000 in Quarter Horse and Thoroughbred races since 2021. A section titled “What he told the court” says Rath asked to release nearly $800,000 in frozen funds, saying he needed the money for legal fees and personal expenses, including costs related to his North American horse-racing “hobby.” A section titled “The judge’s decision” states that Justice Lorena Harris refused the request, finding that Rath had not provided a full accounting of his assets and financial position. A highlighted quotation from Justice Harris states: “I have no confidence that the Rath Applicants’ disclosure is complete, transparent or reliable.” The footer reads: “Source: Global News, October 8, 2026. Based on court documents and reporting by Global News. Allegations have not been proven in court.” The design uses a white background with rust-brown headings and borders, dark gray text, pale pink information panels, and a rust-brown quotation box.

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.” “Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million/yr on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” Investing in bike infrastructure saves money.

One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss
Copenhagen, the bicycle-friendliest place on the planet, publishes a biannual Bicycle Account, and buried in its pages is a rather astonishing fact.

Trump White House misspells “United” on the official “super intelligence” document with AI executives. Instead of “President of the United States,” it reads: “President of the Unites States.” Nothing says “super intelligence” quite like misspelling the name of the country.
Screenshot of a Truth Social post from Donald J. Trump’s verified @realDonaldTrump account displaying a signed document titled “Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities.” The document outlines voluntary AI safety and oversight commitments for companies developing frontier artificial intelligence models. On the right side are signatures and company labels for leaders including Sundar Pichai of Google, Dario Amodei of Anthropic, Mark Zuckerberg of Meta, Greg Brockman of OpenAI, Elon Musk of xAI, and Jensen Huang of Nvidia. Near the center-right, Donald J. Trump’s large signature appears above the printed title identifying him as president. The title contains a noticeable typo: instead of “President of the United States,” it reads, “President of the Unites States,” misspelling “United” as “Unites.”
