Burlington has historically been one of Hamilton's wealthy suburbs, but residents try to distance themselves from Hamilton at every opportunity. Burlington is now administered separately, but it's really just part of Hamilton and always has been. You see the same phenomenon in Montreal where wealthy enclaves try to enforce independence from the city: Westmount, Outremont. Btw, Statistics Canada has Burlington as part of the Hamilton CMA.
