Thomas Berger
NEW) LEGAL COUNSEL, NDP
Legal Eagle This 84-year-old legal legend was cherry-picked by the provincial NDP in August to advise them as they battle against the expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline. It’s a mammoth task, considering the twinning project has already received conditional approval from the National Energy Board and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s cabinet. But Berger has an impressive track record when it comes to ghting big oil: as part of the Supreme Court, the man played a huge role in the ultimate quashing of the Mackenzie Valley pipeline during the 1970s.
