I thought Canada was a Republic?

So they're part of the Commonwealth.. but dont have Queeny as the head of their country...

I am Canadian, and I can assure you that the head of state is Queen Elizabeth II. The republican movement in Canada is relatively weak and is made up of some infrequently vocal malcontents.

What do the Quebecois think of the English monarchy, btw?

Same as ever. The Quebec government will not be doing anything officially for the Queen's Jubiliee, unlike the other provinces.
