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!

Canada needs to keep moving forward. Taking away the orchestra is like taking a step backwards.

I think the orchestra should continue to be supported, but there should also be other types of music featured and supported equally, such as folk music, new ethnic fusions and opera.

The CBC Radio Orchestra is unique. It makes an irreplaceable contribution to the country as a whole. Surely there are other ways to save a few dollars.

Please keep the CBC Orchestra and Radio 2 playing on.

There is a balance between the new and the ongoing. Always. CBC has been juggling this balance well, in my view. It is of the upmost importance to me, as a regular long-time listener, that we do not cut classical music programming on CBC.
Donald Burton
Our cultural tradition is worth preserving!
Barbara Secter
In its new support of mediocrity, the CBC must believe that quantity outweighs quality. Vast numbers of Canadians know otherwise.

I have discovered a lot of Canadian music and musicians through the CBC Radio Orchestra. The Orchestra plays an important role in the Canadian music scene.

The assault on the future of arts & culture in Canada must stop somewhere. CBC Radio Orchestra has helped present so much Canadian new music to the world. Canadian music, heritage, identity & culture will be denigrated yet again.

our canadian identity dwindles as does the CBC...save the radio orchestra
Fred Roots
A country like Canada needs its own orchestra to familiarize the public with the works of outstanding Canadian conductors, orchestral players and composers
Marlene Funk
As a music teacher, I have used CBC recordings in my classroom as CANADIAN sources of music for my students. We can be proud of and should continue to support music making of this caliber through our NATIONAL radio station.
June Roots
The CBC orchastra has enabled Canadians to hear and appreciate good music chosen by Canadian conductors, played by Canadian artists in programs which have included familiar and not so familiar works by Canadian composers.

The problem is not one of budgetary priorities but rather that this federal government is intent on starving the CBC in all its forms of money in order to remove it by privatization. Keep the Orchestra as well as restore the CBC funding.
