   Comments: Omni had Portuguese programming for over 30 years. I remember being a small child and my mother watching the Portuguese news and "telenovela" on Omni. It is a travesty that the mother tongue with the 5th largest population (http://www.toronto.ca/toronto_facts/diversity.htm) doesn't have a newscast in their language.

   Comments: It's a real shame that Omni cut their Portuguese programming. The community should show more support for the good work of the portuguese people at Omni.

    Comments: We have a great number of immigrants from several countries that Portuguese is the first language and we are very disapointed by knowing that OMNI cancelled the Portuguese news broadcast on OMNI without notice and without consulting with the community.

    Comments: I am disappointed with this news. I grew up watching the Portuguese programming on Channel 47/CFMT and OMNI. My parents relied on the Portuguese programming to keep them entertained and informed. Now that they are near retirement, they will need it more than ever. Please bring it back!

    Comments: I'm very disappointed with this decision and with the attitudes of OMNI/Rogers. I hope they see the value these programs bring not only to the older generations of Portuguese/Brazilian speaking but also to the importance and education these programs play in the younger generation.

    Comments: We, now daughters and sons of immigrants and business of the community that once was called upon to support your application for licensing agreements, are now asking that you reconsider your decision and include us in your multicultural programming and also acknowledge the impact on the many of elders that are no longer being offered free over-the-air multilingual/multicultural television on a regular basis. Please bring back the portuguese programming.

    Comments: Canada’s multiculturalism policy recognizes and promotes the understanding that multiculturalism is a fundamental characteristic of Canadian heritage and identity. It advances freedom of all members of Canadian society to preserve, enhance and share their cultural heritage, as an invaluable resource in shaping this country. (Canadian Multiculturalism Act R.S.C., 1985, c. 24 ) Inadvertently this same Act may have propelled cultural segregation and legitimizing inequity that is visible in the circles of privilege and power in our society 33 years later. Hence your decision to cancel the only televised news broadcast of Canadian content available to this community. With your support and reconsideration this community can once again have access to freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other means of communication as so stated by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Regards, Gila
