Save CBC Orchestra - All Petition Signatories

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 why I listen to CBC. My children have grown up with it on a daily basis and it has enriched all our lives. It\'s loss is unimaginable.

Nothing replaces Beethoven. Today\'s youth are easily swept away by great music as other generations. If this were not true, then the CBC dares to suggest that classical music has decreased in value, or that today\'s youth have forgotten how to love.

Grace Funk
We need more \"classical\" music, a genre for all ages.

The orchestra is of great significance to Canadian culture. Doing away with it is the thin edge of the wedge to philistinism.

Even as an impoverished post-secondary student I would gladly donate a meager $50.00 to save the orchestra. Please sign the petition, save the orchestra, save radio 2!

I am not letting the government using tax payers money on something we wouldn\'t like. We\'re trying to save money? With less audiences and less/lower ratings I really doubt we\'ll save money. We\'d waste it.

The CBC Orchestra provides a valuable link between Canadian composers and their audiences, allowing us to hear works we may otherwise never be exposed to.

Fostering serious music contributes to our Canadian identity. CBC plays a vital role in giving our identity a voice.

I sincerely hope that this decision to scrap the CBC radio orchestra will be reversed. I have long been a fan of symphonic music relish any opportunity to hear it. And so for obvious reasons I support this petition.
