So you're saying that if I have a business meeting in Canada but love and work in the United States, that I owe taxes in Canada? I've never heard of this. In any case, I can't imagine Canada going after you for a few days of taxes and I can't imagine the US saying, oh you were in Canada... No problem, you don't owe taxes for those days. Can you provide some kind of source? I've worked for small companies and huge companies and I've never heard that.

Not business meetings, no. However thats not what OP was talking about. OP was talking about spending 6 months in Canada and 6 months abroad and paying taxes to nobody while continuing to work for a foreign employer the whole time. That's completely different. You do have to be careful, in the US it's not permitted to do anything other than business meetings on a B1. The UK is similar. If you do any engineering work at all you're in violation of your entry status. This is just the rules. If you do productive work and are renumerated for it by a foreign employer taxes may well be due. It doesn't often come up as you're not supposed to be doing it per visa rules.
