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!

CBC is the people\'s radio and to assume program changes is arrogant and certainly does not reflect the wishes of the public.

The fanbase of the orchestra stretches across general lines, from classical music fans to heavy metal headbangers. I believe that fact shows just how relevant the CBC Radio Orchestra truly is to Canada.
Jeanine Munchinsky
I really appreciate the quality of music produced by the CBC radio orchestra, and the easy access to good music on CBC radio two. Please don\'t change it!

The orchestra and classical music on CBC part of our Canadian culture. We can\'t afford to lose that.
Bev Ross
I am dismayed to hear this news. This is a unique and special part of Canada. There are MANY of us out here who love classical music and especially appreciate our home-grown talent. Please, rethink your decision regarding the CBC Radio Orchestra!

Shame on the Canadian government. The CBC is a world-class organization with world-class programming, and an essential part of the Canadian experience. As is Western classical music.

Please restore the classical music content to CBC radio 2, and save the CBC radio orchestra. Classical music is an important part or Canadian culture, and CBC radio 2 has distinguished itself in delivering this type of music.

Hey, why do we need to train musicians or create live music anymore? There\'s plenty of classical music in MP3 files at iTunes, we can just download them if we want!
Andrew Thomas
As a taxpayer and as a Canadian I strongly advocate the strengthening of Canadian cultural instututions. Their dissolution weakens our cultural identity and promotes its further Americanization.

Our 16 year old son and his classical music loving friends love Radio Two. Please don\'t shut out the youthful listeners that CBC has always longed to attract.
