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!

Too many Canadian treasures, natural or man-made, have been lost to ignorance, greed, influence from beyond our borders. Please, don\'t make us be sorry later. Save the Orchestra while we still can.

I\'m a taxpayer who will defect to the nearest American classical music station if the evisceration of the CBC continues.

If in the future no one is learning or playing piano, violin, chello etc, it wouldn\'t be my fault, would it ? no

I\'d much rather my tax dollars go to this than to developing a spy satellite, which then gets sold to an American company. Our cultural touchstones are disappearing; enough!

Killing the CBC orchestra is something that cannot be undone, and should not be done without very serious consideration of alternatives.

Fifty years of playing music and the government has watched electronics destroy live music and done not one thing to support live studied muscians. Cananda should be ashamed!!
