What is the current relation between England and Canada?

Okay, so I know it took Canada a while to get their independence from Great Britain, but isn't it still considered a common wealth today? Isn't that why the Queen of England is on Canadian money? If it is still a common wealth, what role does that play in Canadian politics? If someone could explain to me what the ties are between the two nations it would be greatly appreciated.

I believe it is still a commonwealth. And if I recall correctly being a commonwealth doesn't effect politics all that much (besides the whole monarchy thing,) and really only makes it so immigration is easier between the commonwealths.

Well we do have a governor-general who is the queen's representative in canada, so yeah we're still very much attached to england. It doesn't affect politics much, if at all, though.

One country likes to think it's America's friend, the other one likes to think it isn't.
