We invite you to join us at the 2nd annual Barking Dog Art Sale! Some of the objets on offer will include: glorious glasswork; vintage cloth gift bags and cards; hand-painted clothing ; quirky photo cards; silkscreen prints by our host Tanya Handley; and, much much more... check out the fabulous invitation designed by Ms. Handley.

As per tradition, rabble.ca's editorial staff will be goin' fishin' for the last week of July. Our regular daily original feature stories will resume in August.

In the meantime, however, rabble.ca will still be bringing you fresh news and views with our expanded team of bloggers and podcasters covering stories from politics, to the Olympics, to the economy, to land rights, to the climate crises and much much more. Want to talk about the stories? The good news is that our discussion board babble never takes a rest.
