I know exactly what you mean by trying to press people into admitting that they are from Hamilton. For example, if you go to the GTA area and ask someone from Scarborough where they are from they will tell you that they are from Toronto. If you ask someone from North York where they are from they will tell you that they are from Toronto. On the other hand, over at this end of the Lake if you ask someone from Stoney Creek where they are from they won't tell you that they are from Hamilton, they will tell you that they are from Stoney Creek. As well, if you ask someone from Dundas where they are from they won't tell you that they are from Hamilton they will tell you they're from Dundas.
In Hamilton you get the exact opposite happening compared to Toronto.
