In this episode, we sit down with Ed Jager, Director of Trade and Investment at the Canadian Trade Office in Taipei, as he wraps up his four-year posting. From housing crises to shifting global alliances, Canada and Taiwan face surprisingly similar challenges—and unexpected opportunities. We explore how the two economies are building quiet but meaningful connections through trade, immigration, and diplomacy. From real estate to renewable energy, from overlooked provinces to student exchanges, this episode reveals what it means to bridge distances—not just geographically, but culturally and economically.
