The Liberal Party of Canada has 71 of the 122 MPs elected in Ontario. As a neighbourhood of Hamilton, Stipeley shares the council elected in October 2022, with Andrea Horwath as mayor. 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. Provincially, Stipeley votes in Hamilton Centre; the open record doesn’t name its MPP (Member of Provincial Parliament, at Queen’s Park in Toronto) in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, so the legislature’s own list is linked below.
Three governments, and who does what

- Who holds each seat. The members named here are Wikidata’s, kept up by volunteers; a by-election or a floor crossing may take a few days to show.
