He is a graduate of the Collège militaire royal de St-Jean, the Royal Military College of Canada, a Rhodes Scholar, the University of Oxford (where he received his PhD), and the London School of Economics. He spent ten years in the Canadian Army (1954-1964 retiring as a Captain) prior to beginning his teaching career. He was named Honorary Colonel of 8 Wing of the Canadian Air Force at CFB Trenton in 2002. He received the Canadian Forces Decoration in 2004 for 12 years total military service.Morton is the Hiram Mills professor of History at McGill University, as well as the past director of the McGill Institute for the Study of Canada, in Montreal, Quebec. As of fall 2011, he continues to serve at McGill as a professor emeritus. Prior to that, he was Principal of Erindale College, University of Toronto, from 1986 to 1994. Before beginning his teaching career, Morton served as an advisor to Tommy Douglas of the New Democratic Party. In the 1980s he informally advised Brian Mulroney of the Progressive Conservatives. From 1964 to 1966, he served as assistant secretary of the Ontario New Democratic Party. After the success of the famous 1964 NDP Riverdale by-election, Morton wrote and published The Riverdale Story, which detailed how the party organizing and canvassing which changed the way campaigns in Canada are run. In the 1970s he worked with David Lewis, Stephen Lewis and other party leaders to oppose The Waffle, a left wing faction within the NDP.Morton received his doctorate from the University of London. He is the author of over thirty-five books on Canada, including the popular A Short History of Canada ISBN 0-7710-6509-4.In 1996, he was made an Officer of the Order of Canada. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada since 1985.He is also known for jokingly defining a BA as "it means that you can read and write in a professional manner".While Morton is widely regarded as an expert in all areas of Canadian history, he specializes in Canadian military and industrial history as well as nationalisms in Canada. He is noted as one of the few remaining historians who personally interviewed and studied veterans from the militia sent to the North-West Rebellion of 1885.".
