Who is Vivienne Poy
An author, entrepreneur, fashion designer, and historian,
Vivienne Poy is the first Canadian of Asian descent
to be appointed to the Senate of Canada. She served as
Chancellor of the University of Toronto from 2003 until 2006.
She founded Vivienne Poy Mode in 1981 and over the following
fourteen years enjoyed great success in fashion design,
manufacturing and retail.
She is currently Chairwoman of Lee Tak Wai Holdings Ltd.,
and a member of the Board of the Bank of East Asia (Canada).
A Motion to designate the month of May as Asian Heritage Month
was introduced in the Canadian Senate
by Senator Vivienne Poy on May 29, 2001,
and seconded by Senator Pat Carney. Senators Sheila Finestone,
Noel A. Kinsella, Nicholas W. Taylor and Laurier LaPierre
spoke in favour of it.
The foregoing is just some background on the lady who spoke such nonsense in her speech to the Association of Canadian Moslems. It is a sad statement about Canada that she is honoured by all kind of "do-gooders', whom she manages to bully with her constant message about Western racism.She is THE FORMER CHANCELLOR OF the University of Toronto, an institution that considers itself the leading Canadian UNIVERSITY.!!!!
