Let's say one wanted to work TN in US but avoid Canadian Deemed disposition trigger.
If one maintained house in both countries, drivers liscence and on and on, is this possible?
Or does the treaty force you to give up Canadian tax residency after the transition year if you are working and living in the US under TN, or living TD as spouse.
It's the TD actually that has the capital gains we don't want to trigger.
Can one retain dual nation filing as TN

canada can use the treaty to force (deem) you non-resident. That is the very reaon they enacted that section of the tax code. Some were pretending to live in canada to avoid deemed dispositions.

No. It doesn't matter if she is working or not. She ois LIVING in US legally, and not in canada: she becoes a US tax resident just like you, thus will be deemed departed.
Just face it. Unless you commute to US, you become US tax resident and thus depert Canada. Better to plan and act accordingly.

You can always defer payment of deemed disposition tax until actual disposition, and if you return to canada with same investments you can unwind the deemed disposition.
There is absolutely no point spoofing Cdn residency. Move on.
