Interesting point but my guess is that a girl who decides to work as a stripper, in public view, would run a serious risk of being arrested for welfare fraud as I understand it is prosecuted aggressively in Canada.......an SP might be a different story, but surely she would be a lot more likely to get busted for welfare fraud than for working as an SP, whether the income is declared or not. What usually happens, femaleuver, and I know this from experience, is that in these situations the person engaged in fraud gets ratted out (and caught) because of a tip to the authorities by an ex - boyfriend, an ex co worker, a person with an axe to grind in their life etc. The Canadian DRS or whatever the agency is receives an "anonymous" phone call, they send out an investigator, engage in surveillance etc. Works the same way in USA but usually in connection with Social Security and Worker's Compensation fraud. And I can tell you that when the party engaged in fraud is caught, they can't believe they were caught, and it's usually because they are really stupid and don't realize that there are others in the world who are not so stupid...........
