Damn. ' sorry to hear a report today of the passing of Norman "Norm" Laforce a couple of days ago.

' won't pretend to have known him at all well and will defer details and any better accounting to those who may be on here who knew him much better than this any of these user(s) but from this account's little knowledge and experience, able to report at this time: Norm first got involved as a skinhead handing local Nazis their asses while still a streetkid. He remained solidly antifascist and vocally anti-racist up until recently, at the least (though likely for the entirety of his remaining life), and acted as a mentor, and protector for younger generations, liked and respected by anglo-, franco-, and allophones alike.

Memories of him will be ones of respect, and not without some aspiration.

An article from 2014 where Norm and the local branch of the IWW "stormed a mail sorting centre" in solidarity with postal workers whose livelihoods were being threatened:
