Making traveling to US to attend conferences more efficient with ESTA / ETA
Upvote:-2
De jure there are dozens of complex laws and regulations regarding remote employment, under which you may or may not be violating the conditions of your visa by working remotely for your US employer while visiting the US. Canada might also have laws against remote employment, although @chx seems to provide a quote stating the opposite.
De facto, as long as you don't mention your remote job to immigration personnel at the airport/land crossing, there's a 99.99% chance no one will ever find out. There are millions of people breaking the law by being employed at on-site jobs in the USA, so digital nomads are a pretty low priority for law enforcement. It would probably be even more suspicious to keep traveling from Canada every week, rather than coming for long periods of time to visit the conferences.

Here's what the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada says about What kind of activities are not considered to be “work”?:
long distance (by telephone or internet) work done by a temporary resident whose employer is outside Canada and who is remunerated from outside Canada;
In Canadian terminology, "temporary residents include visitors, students, workers and temporary resident permit holders" (source).
This is you. What you do is not considered to be work. Welcome to Canada and enjoy your stay!
