I don't think Hamilton could, or would make the same changes these cities are making, and have made. I've seen a lot of development going on in Canada with a lot of European influences within the last 5-10 years. (Europe being for the most part very pedestrian, and cyclist friendly)

There's no stopping the city from "could". The "would" is the relevant question re: current city council (which may just surprise us all... I like how Green and Johnson have been strong voices, and how Bürgermeister Eisenburger has been a calm consistent force... even Terry's Hair seems to have seen the light re: a safer mountain access for cyclists)
