5th Parliament of Upper Canada
- 5th Parliament of Upper Canada
The 5th Parliament of Upper Canada was in session from February 2 1809 to May 1 1812. Elections in Upper Canada had been held in May 1808. All sessions were held at York, later Toronto. Parliament was dissolved by administrator Isaac Brock who had been frustrated in his efforts to pass legislation preparing the province for war with the United States.
John Brownell died in December 1809 and was replaced by Abraham Marsh. John Roblin was disqualified because he was a Methodist preacher; Willet Casey was elected in a by-election.
