What is Hamilton, Ontario?
1.
A large city (actually an amalgamation of 6-9 villages/towns/cities) in southern Ontario, Canada, pop. 400,000+. The city would be wondrously beautiful with its comely skyline, fetching mountain, and broad sweeps of water... except for the giant brown steel district which the city planners rather witlessly ran a "scenic" expressway in front of, so that every passerby sees it. Idiots.
The speaker recognizes the member for Hamilton... and the smog.

The "Steel City" of Canada located in southern, Ontario. Hamiton's poulation is approx. 500,000 people. Hamilton is split in two between the downton core and the more suburban mountain. The mountain is actually the 300 foot Niagara Escarpment.
Some areas of Hamilton are nice like Westdale and McMaster University, Hess Street, Dundas and the Dundas Valley, and Ancaster. However, the north end of Hamilton is vile and horrific.
The north end is home to two of Canada's largest steel works (Stelco and Dofasco). The revolting brown, crumbling mass of factories, slag heaps, and smog turns the image of Hamilton into a city that is a shithole that isn't fit for human habitation.
Hamiltonians also have an inferiority complex next to its larger neighbour, Toronto. However, Hamitonians know that by risking higher rates of cancer, deformed children, and the awful eggy-smell due to the steel works, the rent and quality of life is great.
He likes to have sex with furry animals, he must be from Hamilton.
Criminals from Toronto are exiled to Hamilton.
Motorist passing on the QEW: "speed up, this place stinks like eggy farts."
Fuck you, I'm from Hamilton and I think it's great you bloody snob.
3.
A large industrial centre located between Toronto and Niagara Falls. A very multicultural place with many ethnic groups such as Italians, Portuegese, Greeks, Serbs, Croats, West Indians, East Indians, Middle Easterners, and Africans. The downtown area is pretty forgetable, The North End is home to two large steel factories, the East End is supposed to have the highest crime rates, the West End is home to McMaster Univeristy, while "The MOuntain" is a nice, multicultural place.
Man: "I just came from Hamilton, Ontario's East End. Like two people spoke English, all I heard was Serbian, Indian, and Chinese. It's nuts."

A surprising shithole amongst the pleasant experience that is the rest of Canada. Acres and acres of blight. What with the months of winter, the suicide rate here must be astronomincal. One nice nuance - the numerous Catholic churches names after a variety of lesser-knowns saints.
I made hotel reservations to access both Niagara and Toronto in Hamilton, Ontario, only to discover I had made an aggregious error.

a polluted city with a corrupt mayor. there isn't really any good reason to come here, unless you really like steel or smog. the downtown area is full of crazies, and people who go to hillfield are rich snobs.
now that red hill valley is gone, why would anyone ever want to live in hamilton, ontario?
