Asia Pacific is not the "far east", it's the "near west" for businesses in Western Canada. The old axiom given to Asia Pacific is centuries old and reflected the power of the Atlantic Ocean business landscape.
Today the Pacific Ocean business landscape is driving the globe and Western Canada needs to fully participate in this reality. From technology power bases in California and Washington State, to seaport powers in California, Seattle, Vancouver and soon to be Prince Rupert, many companies are taking advantage of the "near west" of Asia Pacific. Whether they are importing to or exporting from the "near west' a large number of Western Canadian businesses have already built an Asia Pacific strategy. The question is why are so many other companies lagging behind when it comes to developing a relationship in some manner with the "near west"?
