So if I fall down the stairs in my place, are they liable?

Your argument seems to be yes.

The Quebec argument seems to be that only between "home" (however that's sanely defined that covers for WFH) and work are covered.

I'm honestly not sure how that would apply to things that happen after you're forced to clock out.
The obvious question for a frequent flyer is how does it apply on a business trip. From when you leave home until you get to your hotel? When your sleeping in a hotel away from home?

I think the principle should be to/from work and while working. What ever work is defined as.
