Is it even completely independant today? I notice stuff I have from Canada
(maps, etc) have some gibbersih about "Her Majesty the Queen"...
Canada achieved complete independence from the British Parliament in 1931,
after the passage of The Statute of Westminster. The British monarch
remains the chief of state but has very little authority.

Canada very generously allows the Queen of Canada to moonlight as the
Queen of the United Kingdom and some other places. Her duties in Canada
aren't that onerous so it leaves her plenty of time to pick up some extra
money elsewhere.
