What we do know is that Dong/Scarecrow was under surveillance by CSIS and Im guessing they may have been listening in on his conversations as such. Probably even recording them.
If so, Im guessing Global knows this and had no issue publishing what they wrote.
Doesn't matter though IMO....this is merely the proverbial tip of the iceberg.
As unfortunate as it is for this country, it sure is fascinating political theater. Something this Trudeau led Liberal party seems to be masters of creating.

What we know is someone told Global this happened. Global reviewed no tapes, read no transcripts and had no other information. And then they published. That is what we know, because the Globe confirmed today they had the same story (someone walks in and says something but has nothing to back it up) and they passed on the story.
It is kinda like an Orange Julius trade rumour in that way.
