Yes, you are correct. I was making a general statement about residency, because typically, you are permanently resident where they are working. However, there are situations where you can work for a short period of time, without becoming a resident. But for anything longer than a few months, you simply take on resident status (or acquiring a work visa, or whatever).
Anyway, unless I misread the OP and the post I quoted, I don't think that is what they were referring to.
To put it all in another, simple, way... if you live here and work here, you are subject to the tax laws of Alberta and Canada, regardless of whether you get paid in Canadian dollars, US dollars, or sacks of grain and chickens.
