Very last minute change in departure time [HELP]
Boarding in less than 8 hours! help please
SQ224 PER 6:25am - SIN 11:45am
BR226 SIN 13:10PM - TPE 17:45PM
BR36 TPE - 19:40PM - YYZ 21:55PM
BR36 has been pushed forward to 17:35PM
Who should I be calling at this point to try reroute or reschedule flights?

The thing that I would do before calling (if possible) is to go online and see what other options are available. Have your choices figured out before calling, otherwise you will be flying blind when on the phone, and at the mercy of the agent.

Call to find out what options you have and yes you are correct a 10 minute connection in SIN won't work. Surprised that you were even given something like that.

I'm not sure the UA agent can easily check that the BR TPE-YYZ flight was moved early. The view of the reservation will still say the original time since PNRs are not updated with real-time day of departure flight info.
If you can't get this changed by UA, I'm afraid BR might have to rebook you.
I am guessing BR is getting flights out early somehow to avoid the incoming typhoon.
TPE-SFO/JFK/YYZ/LAX are all leaving a couple hours early on Sep 13.

Congratulations, you get a free overnight in Taiwan! Enjoy your stay and hope you have a great adventure.
Realistically I would ask BR when you get to TPE -- they'll probably put you onto TPE-SFO-YYZ if there's any inventory.

There is a typhoon near TPE so BR moved the flight up. They need to fix this for OP

Sounds like the storm made a storm of its own with schedule changes.
And of course lot of Monday morning armchair quarterbacking after the change that fixed things
