Canada

To be honest, quite a few people've been saying this for the last half century or so, even including a few prime ministers. But saying that they were right all along ignores all the benefits we've been getting this entire time by integrating our economy with the US's. We don't know what sort of position we would've been in if we avoided NAFTA and other trade agreements with the US.

Maybe the same thing would've happened anyways, just that we'd be in an even weaker position due to a lack of economic growth. Or maybe we would've had tighter relations with the EU instead, making Trump a minor bump rather than a national crisis.

But we can't know, because we don't know that timeline. It might've been better, but it also might've been worse, and dwelling on it is useless pandering. We need to reorient our current economy to minimize damages and diversify as fast as possible. And only once we're through this crisis, we can look back and figure out what lessons can be learned from this whole ordeal, not wish that things went a different way.
