Abstract

The ability of sub-state polities to generate distinct political cultures is an important phenomenon in contemporary politics. For the last forty years, Canadian scholarship has been particularly engaged in discussions of sub-state political culture. This article presents new and original quantitative survey data to argue that, while there are subtle interprovincial variations in political culture that exist even after controlling for socio-demographic differences, region is a more important determinant of political culture in Canada than is province. Further, the findings contradict previous research on provincial political culture in Canada concerning the conservatism of Ontario, the left-wing nature of Quebec, disaffection in Atlantic Canada, and the differences between Alberta and the other two Prairie provinces.
