Can you please explain why you think currency sovereignty is such a big hangup? I see lots of potential issues with joining the EU, but having to use the Euro doesn't even register for me as a problem.

See my reply to the other commenter in this thread. Additionally, currency sovereignty is a cornerstone of modern monetary theory, were Canada to want to adopt something like that.

Giving up your national currency for one managed by the European Central Bank is the opposite of currency sovereignty.
