Well that's interesting!
Shulman, the Ontario NDP MPP for High Park from 1967 to 1975, was known for being a thorn in the side of the governing Progressive Conservatives, staging stunts such as selling the book The Happy Hooker out of his office after it had been banned by the Toronto Police morality squad, offering MPPs a 10 percent discount.
