Sarah Hamilton is a Canadian political analyst and journalist based in Ottawa. She began her reporting career covering federal politics and public policy for a national wire service, then spent several years as a Westminster correspondent focusing on parliamentary procedure, party strategy, and the policy process. Her work has been recognized for clear, evidence-based explanations of complex issues, from budget negotiations and election platforms to legislative scrutiny and regulatory impacts. Over the past decade, she has contributed analysis pieces and live explainers during key moments such as minority-government votes, major court rulings, and provincial-federal negotiations. Sarah’s expertise includes constitutional politics, Indigenous governance, and the evolving landscape of Canadian foreign policy and defence.

Her ongoing reporting blends editorial rigor with a focus on how decisions affect everyday Canadians.
