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 rot in our social fabric must be stopped. We, the Canadian people, have crafted a society of high culture and social responsibility over generations. No more destruction of our society and culture by these neo-con thugs.

Prevent more dumbing down of Canadian culture! Kill this wretched idea! Is this another move to find money for the Afghanistan caper, just like cutting the grant programme for supporting heritage buildings was? The barbarians are among us.

There is enough soul-less, vapid music on the radio, please don\'t allow the CBC to become another vehicle for big business to sell commercialized music to us!

Like most other Canadian institutions the CBC is a bureaucracy feeding itself by eating the activities for which it exists. Music not administration!

I wanted to say, I\'ve listened to Classical music on CBC Radio for OVER 50 years, and I refuse to have my quota cut back to a mere five hours. If my say matters a damn to those grey suits running our Canadian Radio programs.
