  Dictionary of Canadian Biography Online
In the House of Commons, according to one critic, Thomson was looked upon as a “bore”; his voice was “thin and effeminate” and his personal appearance “characteristic of a barber’s apprentice.” He rarely spoke on the “exciting party questions of the day,” his brother Scrope noted, and his speeches on commercial matters were considered dogmatic.
Thomson expanded the responsibilities of the board and exercised a new control over private bills, especially railway and bank charters; when he sought to exert his authority to supervise colonial legislation, he plunged the Colonial Office into a bitter dispute with the Upper Canadian House of Assembly over currency and banking legislation.
Thomson’s primary goal was to get the support of the Canadians for a union acceptable to the British government, and to persuade them of the benefits of union he carried with him the promise of an imperial guarantee for a large loan.

His successor, Sir Charles Metcalfe, a man of honest and kindly ways but accustomed to governing oriental peoples, determined to make a stand against the pretensions of the Reformers.
Lemuel Wilmot, and later Charles Fisher, led the reform ranks, gradually securing for the Assembly control of all revenues, abolishing religious inequalities, and effecting some reform in the Executive Council, until at last in 1855 the crowning demand was tardily conceded.

The other five seats within the county fell to candidates of Lord Sydenham [Charles Poulett Thomson*].
Duggan sought but did not receive Sydenham’s backing; nevertheless his boisterous loyalism, his Orange order ties, his links with the Methodists through his marriage, and the Roman Catholicism of his opponent gave him an easy victory, and he immediately assured the administration of his goodwill.
In November 1844 he won again as a supporter of Sir Charles Metcalfe* “for British Hearts and Liberal Measures” against the low, scheming, Reform “oligarchy.” His most conspicuous parliamentary activity was in opposition to the bill, directed against the Orange order, outlawing party processions.
