Marois responds to critics accusing her of ignoring fixed election date: "Time Is an Illusion"

QUEBEC -  Responding to criticisms that she had ignored the October 2016 fixed election date previously set by her government, Premier Pauline Marois stated, "Time is an illusion", backing up her claim with Buddhist Koans, ancient Greek philosophy and subatomic particle theory outside the Lieutenant Governor's office this morning.

"Parmenides believed that all reality is one, unchanging timeless existence," said the Premier.  "So for him, April 2014 and October 2016 are exactly the same."

"A recent article in Scientific American explored the suggestion implicit in the theory of relativity that the universe is static and that time is just an illusion that the human brain has developed to understand our experience.  Again, this points to the likelihood that the first Monday in April 2014 is, astrophysically, the same as the first Monday in October 2016."

The Premier continued as reporters wandered away, confused and bored.
