Homeside’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. City council runs Homeside; in October 2022, Hamilton chose 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. In the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, Homeside belongs to Hamilton East—Stoney Creek; who holds it as MPP (Member of Provincial Parliament, at Queen’s Park in Toronto) isn’t on an open record, so no one is named.
Three governments, and who does what
Homeside is governed by Hamilton, with Ontario and Ottawa.
The city council decides local matters.
Schools, health care, highways, municipal law.

elections.on.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Council size. Every seat counts, the head of council’s too, against the population of the 2021 Census.
- Election results. Two maps are in play: the 2013 ridings, on which 2019 and 2021 were counted, and the 2023 ridings, onto which Elections Canada transposed the 2021 vote poll by poll.
- Who holds each seat. A member who resigned or switched parties last week may still show here: the names are Wikidata’s.
- Which riding. A riding is listed when 5% or more of the place’s 2021 Census residents live in it; the largest share comes first.
- Not on this page. The open lists stop short of party labels, council budgets and band councils, so those are missing here.
