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!

The CBC Radio Orchestra also provides employment for musicians and composers -- CANADIAN musicians and composers. How can we be so shortsighted as to close down a Canadian cultural institution?

There\'s nothing wrong with admitting a mistake, CBC execs -- please reconsider both the dismantling of the CBC Radio Orchestra and the programming changes to CBC Radio Two. We listen to you; now it\'s your turn to listen to us.

Please reconsider the decision to disband the CBC Radio Orchestra. It is a vital part of our Canadian identity, as is CBC Radio II.

The CBC is Canada\'s cultural lifeblood. To shut down the CBC Radio Orchestra to do a disservice to Canadians by destroying what makes this country unique and not providing an avenue for Canadian composers to present their work.

It is a misdeed to cut CBC’s programs and orchestra without the public’s consent. Please keep our CBC radio and its classical music alive and thriving until we, who pay for this resource, decide it needs to be changed.

This is another step for the CBC is becoming more an more philistine. What\'s next? Some other tasteless version on American Idol with some moose for local ambiance? What is happening to Canada...?

I am angry that CBC radio has dumbed down its musical content. It\'s a sad statement when a Canadian has to tune into an American station to get good music.

What possesses our CBC officials to make decisions like disbanding the CBC Radio Orchestra and basically dismembering Radio 2 classical music programming? Please take a second look at what has been plannted.
