As a neighbourhood of Hamilton, Guernsey shares the council elected in October 2022, with Andrea Horwath as mayor. Ontario held new municipal elections on 26 October 2026; until the province publishes them, the open record stops at the council elected in 2022.

Of the 122 Commons seats from Ontario, the Liberal Party of Canada holds 71.

elections.on.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Who holds each seat. MPs come from Wikidata’s records of the 45th Parliament, which can lag a resignation or a by-election by some days.
- Which riding. Ridings are assigned from the 2021 Census: the one with most residents first, then any holding 5% or more.
- Not on this page. No council budgets, no band councils, and no party tally for the council, which the open lists don’t record.
- Council size. Residents per seat divide the 2021 Census population by every council seat, the head of council’s included.
- Election results. Official counts for 2019 and 2021 are by the 2013 ridings; Elections Canada also re-counted the 2021 ballots onto the 2023 ridings by polling division, and that estimate is what “today’s boundaries” means here.
