We, the undersigned, request the FIA and FOM that serious consideration is given to reinstate the Canadian Grand Prix for 2009, or failing that, request that all effort is made to return the race to the F1 calendar for 2010.
Furthermore, we request that future decisions to remove Grands Prix from the calendar are made not only for the commercial interest of the sport, but also in the sporting interest.

| thierry | suisse | un très beau circuit comme celui-ci,il faut le laisser en VIE |
| Renaud Perrette | Switzerland | |
| Pavel Osovets | Chicago, IL, USA | Its a tradition that should stay a tradition. Today's sports are dictated by money. The race was canceled due to loss of profit. Can't we have something done these days without money being the ultimate deciding factor? Show the fans why F1 is the most popular and most fun sport in the world. |

| Michael Smith | Saint Clair Shores, Michigan (east suburb of Detroit) | Montreal has become my "Home away from Home" since the time of my very first Can GP back in 1991 - that wonderful "rut" of mine beginning a year after Bernie left us in Detroit after seven wonderful and miraculous years - I always knew Detroit would be very temporary for F1 - never thought we'd have it in the first place. I've been an F1 fan since I was a kid. What wonderful superlatives can I add to say about Montreal? It had to be one of the very best F1 venues in the World - no exaggeration - especially if the drivers had anything to say about it - I understand it was one of tier favorite stops. What an effing shame! I am obviously crushed and devastated and depressed and outraged along with the rest of "Us". I've given Bernie a whole lot of my very hard earned money for many many years and feel very wronged here. Many of us certainly knew this was a possibility in recent years given Bernie's recent rumbling - but that the miserable wretched b-strd was actually going to follow thru on this was quite the surprise for me. Bernie will be the ruin of F1. I love his timing of this, given the recent World economic woes - and I believe a move just like this will come back to haunt him big time - leaving the roots of F1 on so many places over the years and taking the sport to the unknown corners of the World with World economic chaos in full swing - keep it up Bernie - You'll be the death of F1 for us all yet. Godspeed Montreal - Mike |
| Rahul | Mumbai, India | I love to see Indian GP starting in 2010. But certainly not at the expense of Canadian GP. F1 needs American fans. And the fans need F1. |
| Kristopher Niemeier | London, ON, CA | |
| Joshua Panache | Canada | Dont lose one of the favorite stops of the F1 season |
| Cherish Crust | United States | |
| Gissele Bianchi | Buenos Aires- Argentina | I hope I can contribute in saving the GP of Canada, it is a classic. Capitalizing on the true feeling, the passion for sport and not money, running in distant countries. Thanks |

| SuAh | USA | Soon F1 will be like a communist organization! We need to stop this and make F1 more appealing. Steps like canceling and threatening organizations is not going to popularize the sport. |
| Emma Bracegirdle | Manchester, UK | I'm 16 and I've been watching the Canadian GP since I was about 5 or 6 years old. It's one of the best races on the calendar and has always been a thrill to watch with some of, if not the most passionate fans of the sport present there. What's more, the Canadians have worked so hard to make sure that it's a fitting tribute to Gilles Villeneuve, undoubtedly one of the best drivers F1 has ever seen. Removing the race is an insult to his memory and the legacy he's left behind, not to mention the hard work and many millions of dollars that's gone into upgrading and maintaining the track over the last 30 years. I know you can't please eveyone Bernie, but not listening to the masses' wishes is already costing you in the popularity stakes - carry on and the whole sport could come crashing down the way you're going at the moment. |

| mike mueller | Ohio - USA | North America has more than enough fans to sustain one or maybe two GP's in North America. The Montreal circuit is amazing, do not axe it. You will have all the money and support you need to host it, just like usual. |
| Reg Lauzon | Canada | As a retired Honda Dealer, The Grand Prix is the most prestigious event in Canada. |
| Rick Kappler | usa | F1 is becoming to much of a spec series |
| Justin Neumeyer | Vancouver, Canada | Not only is the Course very exciting to watch, but it gives Canada World recognition in the world of motorsports. |
| John G. Stice | Louisville, Kentucky, USA | Taking away venues such as Canadian GP and the USGP is a slap in the face of the fans which is the soul of Formula One not just nations that can afford to pay the FIA to have their own GP races such as Bahrain and Abu Dhabi. |
| Debrah Fitzsimmons | Toronto, Ont | YOU HAVE GOT TO BE JOKING ME! NO F1.. GIVE ME A BREAK. |
| Blair Maltman | Toronto, Ont | WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU PEOPLE THINKING. |
| Robert J. Wright | Camden SC USA | North America still wants f1. I think 3M might consider sponsoring a package that includes Montreal,Mexico,and Monteray! Face it nascar is boring the hell out of folks these days and open wheel racing here just does not compare to the spectacle of F1.This market is ripe and with the right investment could prove to be huge for the future of the sport. |

| PETE LAZARRO | MTL,QUEBEC | Bernie Ecclestone don't love race fans and history even after 30 years for him it is nothing and we(the fans)helped him to grow up FOM since all those years. Now we know only business and money are interesting to him like the subprime in U.S.A AND NOW WATCH WHAT'S HAPPENED to uncle SAM's country. But at 78 years old of age it is about time than FOM need someone logical to take control in a brand new economic world wide money crisis. |
