Does British Columbia finance the British Queen?

Answer:
Absolutely not. Canada was a collection of of British Colonies until Confederation in 1867. Some colonies like British Columbia, remained outside the newly formed Confederation and were still part of the British Empire and subject to imperial control. This ended with the enactment of the Statute of Westminster in 1931 but still answerable to British Parliament until Canada Act in 1982 when Canada became independent.
