Yes. As I mentioned above -- soybean doesn't grow well in most of Europe (certainly not in the UK), canola grows very easily. Also soya is one of the 14 notifiable allergens in Europe, which makes it almost unsaleable in its unrefined form. Unusual to find it outside of specialist asian food stores.
In the UK, "vegetable oil" is almost always canola.
Even sunflower oil will be marketed as such because it's more expensive (imported from Germany, Ukraine, Albania I imagine). And I imagine it'll only get more expensive because of the situation.
