Crown Point West’s MP is Aslam Rana (Liberal Party of Canada), for Hamilton Centre
Across Ontario, 71 of the 122 MPs sit with the Liberal Party of Canada. Hamilton Centre is the riding Crown Point West votes in for the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, and its MPP (Member of Provincial Parliament, at Queen’s Park in Toronto) isn’t named here because no open list records the members. Hamilton, which governs Crown Point West, elected Andrea Horwath mayor in October 2022. Ontario voted again on 26 October 2026, and the province hasn’t published that election’s open file yet, so these are the 2022–26 council’s names.

elections.on.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Election results. Ridings changed in 2023: the 2019 and 2021 results are on the old map, and the 2021 vote on today’s map is Elections Canada’s own estimate from polling divisions.
- Council size. Every seat counts, the head of council’s too, against the population of the 2021 Census.
- Not on this page. Band councils, municipal budgets and party control are left out; most councils sit without parties anyway.
- Which riding. The 2021 Census homes of a place’s residents fix its ridings, and one is shown once it holds 5% of them.
- Who holds each seat. Wikidata, edited by volunteers, is the source for each MP, and it can trail a change of seat by a little.
