No big deal... just a handful of colonies decided to break away from
the motherland back in 1776. Us yanks make a big deal about it.

But we still have to be nice to the Queen and allow her face to grace
all our currency and a lot of our stamps.

The Commonwealth is a little complicated, and I'm no expert but this is
roughly how I believe it works... When India was dropped, Britain no
longer had an empire, however it still owned much of the world. The
Commonwealth is partly a replacement name for the empire, containing
the existing territories. However, it's also a democratic forum which
allows new members to join, maintaining their independant sovereignty.
Canada is one of the 'transferred' members, and Britain has ultimate
control over the country's political system. The Queen is Canada's
head of state, but is represented by a Canadian politican when she
isn't in the country. Whenever she is in Canada power automatically
transfers to her, so she always has to be 'on duty'.
You could technically say that Canadians are British citizens, but
there are no legal privilages anymore that I know of.

If the queen is the head of state, how would that apply to EU
membership?

No, just red-neck thinking:
We need short sleeved shirts in case the King of England tries to take
back his lands.

Yeah, I think we could decide not to have it there anymore if it was so
legislated. I'm not sure we are required to have her face on the
currency and stamps. She's not on all our currency and stamps.

You forgot the most important part. If the Queen ever actually tried to
throw her weight around in Canada and make a political decision that was
contrary to our own elected or legislated governing bodies, she'd be
"outta here' quicker than you can brew a cuppa tea.
