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!

It is appalling to know that another of our Canadian institutions has been taken away. To remove classical music is to unravel the fabric of western music.

I have been a CBC Radio listener my entire life. There wasn\'t a day that my father didn\'t have Radio 2 playing in the background. Please save the CBC Radio Orchestra for future generations to enjoy.

Canada\'s historic cultural and artistic organizations MUST be preserved. They are an important legacy for our future generations.

The only Canadian Radio Station Orchestra which reminds me of the old contry--Europe where clascical music is being played on ALL radio stations

I am so tired of fighting to support the arts while we funnel so much more to the athletes.

It\'s so easy to destroy that which is cherished and has taken a lifetime to build -- and so very hard to replace once it is gone. Arts and culture cannot be measured in nickels and dimes. How short-sighted.

The loss of CBC Radio 2 & the CBC Radio Orchestra is devastating and deserves to be reconsidered.
Eva Shindler
Whoever thought of this minor saving(?) hare brained idea. Certainly not one, who is remotely aware of the esteem for this orchestra held by myriad of Canadians, and even U.S. listeners

These CBC cuts and initiatives to alienate the current audience and woo the youth market are business suicide. Boomers are the fastest growing demographic. Kill CBC and then it won\'t need funding: is that the master plan?

\"O Canada, We Stand Aghast at Thee\" our cultural identity is being eroded by calculated and ignorant individuals.

CBC helps define us as Canadians. After living in the US for many years I found that one thing US folks have respect for and know us for is our CBC. We should be proud of it and celebrate it not do away with it.
Joy Moffatt
As a resident in a rural area I rely on CBC for my classical music. Please reconsider!!!!

It would be a shame to lose such a fine orchestra. Canada needs to celebrate its talents, not ignore them.
Camille Van Daele
Small countries like Belgium and Holland offer much more claccical music programmes than Canada. How come we cannot afford to get to their level, leave alone attampting to reduce the funding for the CBC?!
