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!

Canada without the CBC Orchestra is akin to pumpkin pie without whipped cream. If it ain\'t broke, don\'t fix it! We need the orchestra, we need the wonderful music; it is nourishment for the soul.
MacKenzie Fraser
Garry & Beryl Rowse
After all, this is our orchestra!!
Nigel Horsley
Dear Prime Minister, I support the continued existence of the CBC Orchestra as a vital part of \'live\' heritage. Kind regards, nigel Horsley.

Killing the orchestra is just another step to killing the CBC alltogether...one less reason for me to listen/watch it.

There is a large void in my life without CBC2.
Gaham Scholes
Being an ORDINARY citizen I hereby record my vote to keep the CBC Orchestra. Thumbs down to the less than ORDINARY Personal who think it wise to cut Canadian Arts.

Is the new CBC big brass off key or what. Restore the orchestra and the classical music. It is part of our culture and our heritage. There are lots of stations for hip hop, rap and all that other crap. Give us back our CBC.
Joseph Choiselat
I miss the classical music on cbc radio 2. I want the former programming back.

If the CBC can\'t keep their orchestra what is the point of the whole organization. Cut the managers and top executives first.

Art must be kept to keep the culture. This orchestra represents our musical future. Take a look around you and see that to keep the orchestra is to keep Canada alive. Thank you.

Please do not let the CBC orchestra dissolve. This is an important part of our culture and we should support the arts and music.

Bad enough they ruined Radio 2 (music like you never heard before?) The CBC Radio orchestra is the jewel in the crown, I heard them on Sunday at the Chan.

KING FM is on my Radio dial now. so is Radio Bartok and others from Europe. Canada is loosing it and the culture which the European brought to this country. Such sad times we are living in.
David Dice
Either restore the CBC radio orchestra, or else just kill off the CBC, because there isn\'t anything else its doing that\'s worthwhile

This is the end of Classical music and jazz in Canada you fools at CBC! I\'m thinking of giving away my radio. Why are you not listening? Everyone I talk to is angry.
Laurel Stride
CBC is the only station that plays classical along with westcoast folk music. We can\'t afford to see the eradication of our world class music radio.
Patricia Clarke
Stephen Beckmyer
I can\'t even bring myself to listen to the schlock on Radio 2 now.
Beryl Peters
A priceless Canadian jewel has been destroyed and playing and employment opportunities for our up and coming young musicians erased.
Dushan Bednarsky
The cuts to classical music on CBC Radio 2 and the destruction of the CBC Radio Orchestra constitute an all-out war on culture in Canada. The persons responsible for this cultural vandalism ought to be ashamed of themselves.
Elliot Wright
Diane Brouard
I would be ashamed to be canadien if CBC radio 2 and CBC radio Orchestra are not restored and would prefer to go back to my birth place nationality.A country without one single national classical radio and orchestra is not a great country.
Philip Bowers

It\'s all down to the harper government, let\'s vote them out!
Bat-Ami Hensen
What shortsightedness and what an abdication of power to positively influence the development of Canadian classical music talent and appreciation.
David Forsyth
I used to wake up to some of the best classical music of the day on Radio 2. Now I settle for the buzzer on the alarm clock rather than Radio 2. Shame on the CBC and the Conservative government.
Carol Collicutt
If the Harper government has its way, there will be no cultural fabric left in Canada. He has GOT to go!!!
Lorna Brown
CBC Radio Two and the CBC Orchestra are like Medicare – part of what makes us unique as Canadians. To trash the former and abolish the latter is to attack the heart of culture in this country.

CBC underfunded, bean counters in charge. Competition with private broadcasters for ratings, ads, sure way to destroy alternative, objective, quality broadcaster. Losses are tragic! No one listening and I am angry!
