This discussion does come up every few months. I feel that the failure of Hamilton to become the GTA's second airport is due to a number of factors 1) Access. Aside from the two lane Hwy 6 there is no major road access into and out of Munro and in fact there is really only one road in/out. Any congestion will overload that network. 2) Location. Being in the West end, where Pearson is, there is no value to western GTA residents who choose Munro over Pearson. Travel times to the each airport would be the same and Pearson will always have greater options.
A second GTA airport needs to be in the East so that it can serve the 1-2 million residents in the East who currently face a 1 hr+ drive across the GTA just to get to the airport.
