Some More on Joseph Willcocks-- Part 1: Traitor?

From Biography--  Willcocks, Joseph 00  Volume V.

In the Fifth Parliament of Upper Canada, with the threat of war with the United States eminent, the colony's administrator, Isaac Brock, was determined to push through measures to put the colony on war-footing, but he was unsuccessful thanks to a coalition led by Joseph Willcocks.

An angry Brock dissolved the Parliament and moved to have a more pliant group elected.  Willcocks, however, was reelected and once again defeated Brock's efforts to prepare Upper Canada for war, though at this time, they were already at war.

There are those who say this opposition led to the traitorous things he did in the future.

Even after the invasion of Niagara by the Americans, Willcocks was still against certain British administrators, but for Upper Canada. Then, in August, Brock appointed Willcocks to secure an alliance with the Six Nations Indian tribes who lived in Upper Canada and he was successful  in the effort, despite being sick.
