Belinda did it because she wanted to.
Kahn did it because Dion made him choose - Liberal member or advisor to the PM.
Totally different circumstances. To treat them the same is just like treating a hip check at the blueline the same as a nasty elbow into the glass. Both can cause injury, but one is far more acceptable than the other.
Kahn was A-OK staying in the Liberal party until Dion came around, and you want to pin this decision on Kahn?
