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!

If they pull the Orchestra, I\'m afraid I have no choice but to listen elsewhere and take 94.1 off my car radio\'s memory. I\'m afraid the powers that be with regards to these changes have gone too far this time.

There have been so many unpleasant changes to cbc in the last year. The listenership must be way down. No one seems to enjoy Radio 2 any longer. Where has the classical music gone?

Classical Music is what started it all. Save the past to save the future!!

Classical music is the base of all music. Classical music started the world of music, without classical music, there wouldnt be rap... hip hop...country

This is a great station to have...we all need a chance to hear the beautiful sounds of the orchestra without having to shell out so much to go there.

It\'s the last station, what are we making room for, another main-stream radio show ? Keep classical alive.

It\'s hard to see why this might be a good idea. You are destroying a resource that nothing else can replace. We need to preserve and foster Canadian culture, not kill it.

the youth today have many detrimental alternative music sources. How about a positive educational source- classical! This is not an expense, but an investment in our youth. More is at stake than just money!!

You don\'t know what you\'ve got until it\'s gone, don\'t let it dissapear. If the CBC orchestra is removed, people in the next generation won\'t know what classical music is! the music is important to us, KEEP IT.

Canada cannot afford to lose sight of it\'s priorities, no matter how narrow the vision of it\'s politicians.

Please reconsider and save the CBC orchestra.
