Hamilton Mountain is a federal electoral district in Ontario, Canada, that has been represented in the Canadian House of Commons since 1968. The riding is located in the Hamilton, Ontario region.
The socio-economic composition of the Hamilton Mountain is diverse, having low-income public housing residents as well as million dollar estates, highly-paid unionized workers and small-wage unskilled workers, and well-established families and recent immigrants.
This diversity makes Hamilton Mountain a swing riding with expected support for all three main Canadian political parties where many elections are virtually two- or three-way ties. For instance, in 1988 less than a hundred votes separated the first and second place finishers and in the 2004 election only three thousand votes separated the first and third place finishers.

“Through Plato Aristotle came to believe in God, but Plato never attempted to prove His reality. Aristotle had to do so. Plato contemplated Him; Aristotle produced arguments to demonstrate Him. Plato never defined Him, but Aristotle thought God through logically and concluded with entire satisfaction to himself that He was the Unmoved Mover.”

“The mountain held the town as in a shadow.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
