After yesterday's second failed attempt to talk to a Quebec with a successful referendum to secede from Canada in 1995, we once again find ourselves talking to a last minute replacement guest. Today, staying on the theme of secession, we get a chance to talk to a timeline where the US states of Oregon &amp; Washington seceded from the United States, &amp; became the sovereign nation of South Cascadia. How did they leave? Was there a civil war int he states? Did they negotiate? Did they just walk away? How did they get around the fact that secession is ILLEGAL in the United States? Tune in &amp; find out. WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN IN NO WAY SUPPORTS OR ENDORSES ANY STATE ATTEMPTING TO LEAVE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. (Even if might be a good idea.)<hr> Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to what could have been, a podcast where I interview alternate versions of myself that are calling in from across the multiverse. We look at where our universes diverged from one another &amp; how their histories played out compared to ours.&nbsp; I'm Simon Peterson, your host doing the interviewing with alternate versions of myself from different timelines. We'll start with the point where we diverged from one another, &amp; we'll explore each other's histories so that we can really understand What Could Have Been if we'd made different choices along the way.
