Globe and Mail essentially came out and said they didn't publish the Dong story because it didn't meet their editorial standards and even Global seems to be backing away from it now.

Liberals also chose to do nothing with the 2019 foreign interference in their candidate elections as well. Liberals doing nothing should never be a bar to use to measure reactions.
Liberals doing nothing doesn't suddenly mean that Global's sources are bad. Neither Globe and Mail or Global have seen the transcripts. Globe and Mail felt it wasn't enough to run the story without being able to confirm the allegation, Global felt it was enough to run the story on.
Let's say the actual request to delay the Michaels didn't happen, but everything else including meeting with a Chinese diplomat secretly (which Han Dong did not deny) occured.
Should Han Dong be an MP in our house of commons? Even without the Michael delay allegation being true, this is incredibly dubious with what we do know that has been corroborated. Han Dong has no business being in contact with a foreign diplomat like he did.
This is exactly why we absolutely need a public inquiry on this (if Han Dong is innocent, he should as well).
