He is mistaken with the 57,365 people driving to Toronto for work. According to StatsCan, 6,925 people live in Hamilton and work in Toronto. 57,000 is the total number of Hamiltonians that work outside Hamilton's official city limits. That includes Burlington and other nearby cities like Brantford, St. Catharines and K-W and also far flung places like Montreal, Kingston and Inuvik.
24,000 Hamiltonians total work in the Toronto CMA, most of those in Oakville, then Mississauga.
165,000 work within the Hamilton CMA. Over 140,000 Hamiltonians work in Hamilton, and over 20,000 work in Burlington. If 83% work within Greater Hamilton, any notion that Hamilton is a bedroom community is utterly ridiculous.
