Blogger Dr. Dawg claims to have obtained a document prepared by Canada-Israel Committee CEO, Shimon Fogel, which describes “a broad strategy… for monitoring Canadians whom the CIC feels are politically suspect.” He warns that he has not verified the authenticity of the document and is open to a denial or other statement from the Committee.

The purported CIC strategy document, reproduced at Dawg’s Blawg, is titled “Destabilizing the Opponent” and has as its objective to “define and discredit the radical Islamist movement and agenda in Canada and its non-Islamist allies; link their enmity and war on Israel with their shared hostility to Canadian (Western) values and society.” It goes on to specify activities with respect to advocacy, media monitoring, combating youth indoctrination and political NGOs, and a “counterstrike” against Islamic Monitor by distributing “moderate voices from Arab and Muslim countries.”

One of the areas of activity would seem to call for surveillance of, and attacks on, non-Islamist Canadian groups:

Fifth Column: the collusion of the “anti-imperialist” Left and radical Islamism

Expose ideological and personal ties between local actors and foreign radical/terror groups (e.g. Cairo Conferences, etc.) and highlight common hatred of Canadian (Western) society (CAIA, Tadamon, Canadian Peace Alliance, International Socialists, etc.), monitor activities and publications.
