The Parliament had three annual sessions, but then was <a href="/wiki/Prorogation" title="Prorogation">prorogued</a> for close to a year due to a political crisis in the relations between the Legislative Assembly and the Governor General. The Parliament was dissolved in September, 1844, triggering the second general election for the Province, and the <a href="/wiki/2nd_Parliament_of_the_Province_of_Canada" title="2nd Parliament of the Province of Canada">second Parliament</a>, which met in Montreal. In 1841, the <a href="/wiki/District_Councils_Act_(1841)" title="District Councils Act (1841)">District Councils Act</a> was passed which established a system of local government in Canada West based on district councils.

They were appointed as advisors to the Governor General, who continued to exercise the executive powers of the government. The first general election for the new Legislative Assembly was held in the spring of 1841. There was no single election date. The returning officer in each electoral district chose the date for the election in their district. The Governor General, following the policy of assimilation set out in <a href="/wiki/Report_on_the_Affairs_of_British_North_America" class="mw-redirect" title="Report on the Affairs of British North America">Lord Durham's Report</a>, drew boundaries and chose the location of polling stations in Canada East in anglophone areas, in an effort to favour voters of British stock and to make it more difficult for francophone voters to exercise their franchise.<a href="#cite_note-CBC-1841-2">[2]</a> There was electoral violence during the elections. In one case, the threat of riots at the polling station forced <a href="/wiki/Louis-Hippolyte_Lafontaine" title="Louis-Hippolyte Lafontaine">Louis-Hippolyte Lafontaine</a>, a proponent of <a href="/wiki/Responsible_government" title="Responsible government">responsible government</a>, to withdraw his candidacy from the riding of Terrebonne in Canada East. In response, <a href="/wiki/Robert_Baldwin" title="Robert Baldwin">Robert Baldwin</a> in Canada West, also a supporter of responsible government, proposed to his father, <a href="/wiki/William_Warren_Baldwin" title="William Warren Baldwin">William Warren Baldwin</a>, that they should assist Lafontaine's election. Baldwin senior was a candidate for a riding in the Toronto area. He withdrew his nomination to allow Lafontaine to stand for election. Lafontaine was elected.<a href="#cite_note-CBC-1841-2">[2]</a> This was the beginning of the Lafontaine-Baldwin alliance which ultimately led to responsible government in the Province of Canada.<a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a> Candidates at this time would be loosely affiliated in early political parties, but party structure was not strong, and there were different party groups in Canada East and Canada West. The election resulted in a Legislative Assembly with no single party group with a majority. </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(2)"><h2 id="Governors_General">Governors General</h2> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=1st_Parliament_of_the_Province_of_Canada&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Governors General" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div><section class="mf-section-2 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-2"> One of the unusual features of the 1st Parliament was the high turnover in the position of governor general. <a href="/wiki/Charles_Poulett_Thomson,_1st_Baron_Sydenham" title="Charles Poulett Thomson, 1st Baron Sydenham">Charles Poulett Thomson</a> was the governor general from February 1841 until September 1841, when he died from tetanus resulting from a riding accident.
