Abstract
In the past decade, patterns of variance in Canadian political culture have been documented in several studies of the attitudes and beliefs of the Canadian mass public. To date, however, the nature and significance of variations in political culture in Canada at the elite level remain largely unexplored. Given the importance generally attributed to elites in descriptions of the functioning of the Canadian political system, examination of the belief systems of Canadian political elites is a salient research priority. As a contribution to this field of inquiry the present research note presents the results of an investigation of the ideological self-perceptions of provincial legislators in all ten provinces.
