No, H1B tied to office location. From Canadian perspective you would also need a work visa. You can't work there on tourist visa.

Not just visa issues, but also taxes. Your company would have to pay taxes to Canada, and client data frequently has restrictions on where it can exit to

Its illegal in short simple words. If you are talking a week or so maybe you can get approval but just because we are remote don't try this without proper written email communication

Is your company ready to pay Canadian corporate taxes and file tax forms in Canada ?

Canadian government will consider your employer is doing business in Canada by having a remote employee in Canada and may want to take a cut in profits they generate and can send a tax bill to your employer.
