Member of the Legislature

This is Morton Shulman’s own fast-moving story of his eight years in Toronto politics. It is sharp, full of public concern, opinionated, self-critical, serious in intent but often hilarious in the telling . For Shulman, an “unrepentant capitalist” millionaire, the decision to run for the NDP was a chance to get back at the Conservative government that had fired him as Coroner. But the job became much more than that, as Shulman, the man who was always approachable, became an unofficial ombudsman for the province and its people.
