He represented the Niagara district in the Upper House before Confederation, 1862-1865, and in 1871 successfully contested the Provincial riding of Welland County. On the first formation of the Mowat government Currie became Speaker of the Legislature, a position he held from 1871 until 1873. He was named registrar of Lincoln County in 1881.

Prominent in the militia, he attained the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel and played a prominent part in repulsing the Fenian raid of 1866.
