I still don’t see why people are going with Dubious here for the allegations.
Is the Dong was selected as an liberal MP at the rising level with the assistance of China currently under scrutiny? The Ontario MPP linked resigned, the mechanism described existed, the PM was briefed on the issue, no one has said that didn’t happen.
Even on the Michael’s issue the Conversation between the MP and the Chinese diplomat took place and was not through official channels. Generally there are protocols for these things. Also the defamation suit is as of yet unfiled and defamation is the typical threat that everyone uses after being bad mouthed by the media. Irving’s, Klibergers, etc.
I’m not saying everything that global is saying is true but to describe it as dubious seems to intentionally understate the nature of the case. We need a public inquiry to determine what likely happened and how to prevent it riot to the next election.

Well, the specific allegation made in the Global article was

Liberal MP Han Dong, who is at the centre of Chinese influence allegations, privately advised a senior Chinese diplomat in February 2021 that Beijing should hold off freeing Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor

And the Globe apparently has a senior source saying no such conclusion could be drawn.
So, seems dubious.
It certainly could be true, but the reporting so far is hardly persuasive, especially given the seemingly illogical rationale Global alleges he had. Nobody should be rushing to convict the guy based on what's out there now.
