Hmm, well, in Vancouver, our neighbourhoods with the most expensive property have the lowest income people. They don't declare any Chinese income while living off benefits in Canada while living in 10+ million dollar homes!
Also, we have tons of scams with people bringing in cash to casinos to launder it... nearly every "nails" and "tanning" salon in Vancouver you go to has next to 0 clients and they're around for 10+ years, or "rug stores" that are always having going-out-of-business sales.
One of my favourite pubs in Vancouver used to be across the street from this persian rug store, and I would sit on my laptop doing tube site uploads and shitposting for hours. I never once saw anyone buy a fucking rug, and I would go in there and they'd have the same rugs for like a year, and nobody would even come talk to you. I think I even once brought one of the waitresses there and made out with her on a stack of rugs as a joke. This went on for months, and it was a running joke with the staff eventually that it was 100% a money laundering operation, just like the countless nails and tanning salons Vancouver has/had.
Hell, look what I found in 2 seconds:

Also, another one is art. Art has no real value unless appraised, and, in Vancouver, I've known of "private showings" of art that is bought and then immediately donated to various charities.

The woman I dated before I had my kid, was Jewish, and she had a non-profit she ran for retired horses or something, it was some retired animal charity where the animals would live on a ranch until they passed away naturally as far as I remember, and, somehow, she got a huuuuuuuge tax return at the end of the year despite her being a business owner and making like 500k/year Canadian.
Now Duke, I know you're a car guy, same with Fuzebox, and when I used to go to car shows and hang out with car guys, I remember there were these 2 dudes who owned Vipers and another guy with a sick blue NSX, and all three of them ran tanning salons. I was making 10k/month in adult at the time and that was enough money for me to live my best life, but these tanning salon guys? Holy fuck, I have no idea how tanning makes so much money, but they were banking like 50k/month at least, one of the dudes sent his car to Hennessy for a Venom upgrade and his car was there for like 2+ years and he bought a 2nd Viper in the meantime. This was 10+ years ago... but I'm pretty sure there are so many dudes just laundering money from other businesses.
Also... Canada has a horrible record:
Canada largely fails to successfully convict money launderers with almost three-quarters of people accused going free, a Global News investigation has found.
From 2000-2016, Canada recorded 321 guilty verdicts in money-laundering cases, according to an analysis of data provided by Statistics Canada.
Now, to make this even funnier:
Canada Revenue Agency fires 120 workers who claimed CERB benefit while on the job
Yes, even government workers scammed the government!
Now, the real joke here...

This Uber driver scammed 4.6 million dollars by setting up fake businesses and claiming to need help... no questions asked, the government paid him nearly 5 million dollars. He was caught because he was so brazen and had sooooooooo many companies to pull this scam and didn't leave the country when he could have. That's what a ton of scammers actually did according to my neighbour's wife who works for the government:

The amount of scams, both individuals and "corporations", was a feeding frenzy. Tons of people scammed the government and went back to their home countries. I think the USA is different in the fact that you can actually be jailed for shit and the USA doesn't fuck around, but Canada is basically a house of cards built on fucking other people over. I'm sure though that if you setup a Duke's Car Wash, you could probably offload some of your tax debt through "creative" financials... like there are sooooooooooo many rich people doing that here in Canada.
