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!

This \"cultural vandalism\" will have a terrible impact on the young--youg musicians, aspiring composers, and young listeners--who are an important part of our cultural future.
Margi Hennen
Surely the CBC has a mandate to commission and perform Canadian composition, to showcase Canadian performers, and demonstrate Canadian culture in action.
Annelisa Pedersen
The CBC is the glue that keeps Canada\'s cultural fabric together, and it needs to be focused on transmitting our cultural uniqueness. The CBC Radio Orchestra is an important part of this, historically, and for the future of music in this country.

Please please do not cut the orchestra.

It is my sincere hope that our Federal government will decide that investing in Candaian culture is of tremendous value!
Helen Pickett
Yes, you can go ahead and save the CBC Radio Orchestra and do you know what? We can still have hockey, football, good television, T.V. for children, and \"things\" that matter to individuals who even enjoy the CBC Radio Orchestra. Imagine that.

An utterly mindless proposal. I would remind you that the publicly-funded BBC sustains five symphony orchestras; by going ahead, CBC will lose its last. Does CBC really want to consign Canada to cultural-backwater status?

A misguided idealogically driven decision by a mean spirited government bent on destroying as much common good as possible. Shame.
Michelle MacArthur
Please save our CBC Radio orchestra! Thank you(:

my taxes are used to support the CBC, I oppose the short-sighted decision to dismantle the CBC Orchestra, and the classical music component of Radio 2.

Please reverse this decision and other proposed cuts to CBC 2 music programming. This is a short-sighted vision that can only hurt the cultural and artistice future of this country,
Andrée Levie-Warrilow
We as a nation would be so diminished culturally without CBC\'s wonderful classical music programs, and the CBC Radio Orchestra. This has been money well spent. Don\'t take away this funding.
Corrina Wang
The orchestra is important to young Canadian minds. please do NOT cancel it!

CBC management is clueless and needs to be replaced immediately.

There are some things that are worth keeping, and some things that must be kept: the CBC Radio Station must be kept.

Shame on CBC management: for NOT defending a unique cultural asset such as the CBC Radio Orchestra, and for insulting listeners\' intelligence with yet more program cuts and lame-#ss rationales.

A shameful & near-sighted decision that flies in the face of CBC\'s mandate: to \"commission & perform works by Canadian composers, showcase Canadian performers & conductors, & discover & expose Canadian excellence”.
Jane Saxton
Our CBC orchestra has been a vital part of Canadian culture all my life. CBC must continue to support it.

This is a decision that must be reversed. The Orchestra has played an integral part in community life for all Canadians, and should receive proper funding to continue.

This is a time in our Canadian history when we need to be celebrating, embracing, and broadcasting our Canadian talents to each other and to the world. We deserve to have our culture heard and seen; what better way than with the CBC Orchestra?
