As a Hamiltonian, albeit a transplant from Toronto, I still view the city as solidly part of the GTA, albeit on the edge of it. I can drive to Square One in under half an hour most times of the day with the 407, barely longer than it takes me to get to Lime Ridge within Hamilton itself.
The CMA itself especially blurs with Toronto as it includes Burlington which is more in the GTA than many municipalities within the Toronto CMA itself.
I don't think it's a bad thing being in the GTA. it doesn't change the physical character of Hamilton being it's own regional centre in many ways. Personally I like the benefits of living in a more mid-sized city with relative ease of access to big-city amenities.
