I think there is enough demand considering that the most amount of Taiwanese in Canada live in Ontario. The concern is that JX doesn't have a proper partner on this route, it would have to be Porter, which makes some more sense as Alaska also partners w/ Porter. In general, I notice that the Asian diaspora in Canada tend to have stronger ties with their motherland for some reason, and there are many people from HK, TW, and others Asian countries in Ontario that would jump on this. With the shift in transborder traffic, I imagine people in Western Canada looking for a vacation may want to visit Asia more than the US as well.

I will also add there is an expectation that CI/BR will be able to add service with the new agreement to YYZ or YYC as well.
