Well that's interesting!
An Ontario Conservative, Carling was the son of Thomas Carling, the founder of the brewing company bearing the family name. He sat as the MPP for Huron South for only two years between 1868 and 1871, never winning a seat competitively. However, his brother John had a much longer political career both federally and provincially.
