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!

DON\'T LET YOUR POLITICAL AGENDA TAKE AWAY THIS WONDERFUL SPIRITUAL GIFT THAT IS UNIQUELY OURS AS CANADIANS TO SHARE WITH THE WORLD TO HELP BRING ABOUT A MEASURE OF THE PEACE WHICH IS SO SORELY NEEDED!!!!!!

this is just as reprehensible as cutting funding for education, health care and research, none of which were asked for by us -the taxpayers.
Robert J. Edwards
Such a short-sighted and uninformed decision, surely made blithely for ideological reasons. How long does the rest of the CBC have?
Rosemary Tominaga
The CBC Radio Orchestra is such an important contributor to Canada\'s cultural heritage. Please reconsider your actions.
Gwendolyn Gresham
Let Canada be a leader and decide to retain the last radio orchestra in North America. This is part of our culture; please keep it going to continue to strengthen our culture.
Glenda MacPherson
Cybele Deshield
This is another loss for Canadian culture.
Samuel Andreyev
This must not be allowed to happen. Culture is the lifeblood of a nation, and the function of a Radio Orchestra is to preserve and dessiminate something of great importance.
Tony Lancaster
this is quite a shame, after all these years. Perhaps CBC should get their priorities checked.
Jack Walsworth
It is my view that CBC Radio 2 and the CBC Radio Orchestra have both been valuable towards enriching our society with classical music. Please do not remove this listening option. I will miss it very much.
Jill Schroder
Preserve this important national institution!! Get creative and do it.

Please don\'t take away this valuable national treasure. Stop this action!

Very often we don\'t miss something until it\'s gone. But losing the CBC Orchestra? We already know we\'d miss it! It\'s too valuable to lose.

I am very upset that CBC is sacrificing its cultural intregrity for the sake of ratings! You\'re really pushing it, CBC!

I am 41-year-old author and violinist, and have been listening to CBC Radio\'s classical music programming since I was 3-years-old. The proposed changes are unacceptable -- please reconsider.
Danielle E. Weisman
It is just unacceptable to allocate more time to music like Feist and the rest of theses nonsense songs, instead of pure healing sounds of the Masters and not the anapestic rhythms of some modern sounds which enrage and make most people aggressive.

I wish some of my tax dollars to go in support of the CBC Radio Orchestra and can only hope that the CBC will reconsider it\'s current trend of reducling and eliminating Classical music content from its progamming schedule.

We listen to CBC Radio-2 via Red Deer, Alberta every day ! Please don\'t let it or the orchestra go !
Ken Dallas
Canada should be embracing the arts not shying away from it. Artist create cuture and making music makes you smarter. Our artist should not be imported!!

The CBC is respected worldwide for its orchestra. Squeezing classical music out of Canadian culture would bring us a step closer to the sad situation south of the border.

We can\'t let the last remaining radio orchestra in North America disappear. Please do the right thing CBC and preserve this important national, musical institution.
Christina Kroecher
The CBC Radio Orchestra has inspired many a young person to become a professional classical musician. It\'s been the envy of North America. Now it all \'oils down to Harper giving into US \"deep integration\" DON\'T LET IT HAPPEN!

Suzanne Lindsay
Why take away an orchestra that brings joy to so many thouands of Canadians in their own homes?
