The petition is now closed. Thanks to all who took the time to sign the petition and post comments. Though the CBC Radio Orchestra's life was ended by CBC Radio, the orchestra has been reincarnated in a new form: the National Broadcast Orchestra of Canada - Orchestre national de diffusion du Canada.
Dear Mark Steinmetz and CBC Radio, Prime Minister Harper, Members of Parliament, and the Minister of Canadian Heritage. We the undersigned want the CBC Radio Orchestra saved. We believe that the orchestra is an integral part of Canada's mosaic and an important contributor to Canada's unique and rich cultural heritage. Our Canada includes the CBC Radio Orchestra!

Classical music is dear to my heart and to many Canadians\' hearts.

CBC 2- classical music is not exclusive. Don\'t limit its accessibility to the masses.
Richard NR Crossman
The present CBC 2 is such a sad, tawdry shadow of its former self. I have been a dedicated listener for 27 years as it was a constant companion at home, at work and in the car no matter where I travelled...but no more.

\"The CBC orchestra is a member of the CBC family & a national institution that provides a great service to Canadians. My tax dollar is well spent in this area.

The CBC classical programming is one of the few defenses in the world against complete intellectual darkness supported by cheapening commercial interests.
Jim Friesen
This orchestra is a national treasure. Disbanding it would be shameful.
Heydar Radjavi
Please bring back classical music on Radio 2!

It\'s important to support the Arts, they are a vital education media for the Canadian children.

CBC must be receive funding so it can continue to provide pure Canadian content to recognize the talent and skill in this country rather than taking form the United States.

This Orchestra is a part of Canada\'s cultural mosaic, musicians we can all be proud of. It is hard enough to find classical music on the \'dial\' as it is, to remove the Canadian content is a disgrace.

CBC isn\'t (or at least shouldn\'t) be geared towards making money. We have enough people out there who do that, and in doing so have ruined the arts. Don\'t foloow the same path.
Ian Mackenzie
The abolition of the CBC orchestra is only part of the crime. The evisceration of Radio 2 will deny future generations of children exposure to classical music. Where will the future Ben Hepners come from?

To abolish the CBC Radio Orchestra is to abolish thought. What will be have to read and write about if we get rid of the arts and specifically music. Harper is dull and so he won\'t understand.
Steve McCann
In my humble opinion having a Canadian entity such as the CBC Orchestra provides more security from so called terrorist countries than adding helicopters and submarines to our armed forces. Think about it.
Anna Alexander
It\'s a disgrace that there is not more classical music on the radio airwaves. I have stopped listening to CBC Radio 2 altogether and now rely on my CDs.

How can $80,000 for one CBC member\'s expenses (See Vancouver Sun, November 20th) be deemed to be within guidelines for spending and we can\'t support the CBC Radio Orchestra because the CBC has to save money!
Brian S. Shore
I am in the USA, but am very sad to hear this! I especially miss the \"Northern Lights\" music program...
