Abstract
Evidence from a recent study of Canadian attitudes toward civil liberties indicates that the issue of wiretapping presents an important exception to the familiar theory of democratic elitism. Ironically, the very sophistication and knowledge that leads elites to support individual rights and freedoms also makes them more likely to support wiretapping than the Canadian population as a whole.
