Hamilton Mountain (federal Electoral District)
Hamilton Mountain is a federal electoral district in Ontario, Canada, that has been represented in the House of Commons of Canada since 1968. The riding is located in the Hamilton region. The socio-economic composition of the Hamilton Mountain is diverse, with low-income public housing residents as well as million-dollar estates, highly-paid unionized workers, low-wage unskilled workers, and well-established families and recent immigrants. That diversity makes Hamilton Mountain a swing riding in which many elections are virtually two-way or three-way ties. For instance, fewer than 100 votes separated the top two places in 1988. Only 3000 votes separated the top three candidates in 2004. From the 1990s to 2006, the races were between the Liberals and the NDP.
