Morton Shulman OC (25 April 1925 – 18 August 2000) was a Canadian politician, businessman, broadcaster, columnist, coroner, and physician.

He was fired and then ran for elected office in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, avenging himself by beating a government Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP).

His fame grew in the late 1970s and 1980s when he hosted a nationally distributed television talk show called The Shulman File.

Near the end of his life, he received recognition for his lifetime's work, when he was appointed to the Order of Canada, the country's highest civilian award.

[5] In exchange for his involvement in the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party, by helping his local candidate, William James Stewart defeat incumbent CCF MPP, Lloyd Fell in Parkdale, in the 1951 election, he was appointed to the Coroner's Office as a junior in 1952.

[8] Despite ideological differences, he ran for the Ontario New Democratic Party (NDP) in the High Park electoral district, where his medical clinic was located.

He asked provocative questions in the legislature and was known for stunts, such as selling the book The Happy Hooker out of his office after it had been banned by the Toronto Police morality squad — he offered MPPs a 10 percent discount.

[13] After leaving politics, he started a broadcasting career, most notably from 1977 until 1983, he hosted a hard-hitting television talk show on CITY-TV called The Shulman File which featured confrontational interviews, sensationalist and risqué topics and outrageous opinions.

[2] In 2013, a street leading to Ontario's new forensic services and coroner's complex, in Toronto's North York area, was named Morton Shulman Avenue.
