That sorta misses the point of the original post, which was satire if I'm not mistaken.
Anyway, the definition applies in this instance reasonably accurately.

You're taking this very seriously for a man who killed himself by defenestration ten years ago.

Most European countries are inoffensive centrist democracies.

If I become PM of Canada then I will shape it into an ICD.

Many say I was murdered. And I took a lot of things seriously.

I've been at it for 13 years now. Please use your method on my problem.

'There is no time/time is an illusion' or some variation thereof?

There is actually another almost workable way out of the quandry, but that depends upon some vaguely scientific definitions of what qualifies as 'now' , 'the past' and 'the future' at different points in the cosmos separated over wide distances, and the assumption that faster than light travel is actually possible. Explaining this in detail would involve a diagram which I couldn't really render satisfactorily in text.
