No, canola refers to specific types of rapeseed oil that were bred to be lower in eurcic acid -- thought to be a health risk in the 1970s. I.e. canola is rapeseed oil but not all rapeseed oil is canola.
However all rapeseed oil sold in both the US and EU are these low (less than 2%) eurcic acid varieties.

- lucideer 3y agoYou're technically correct but to put it more succinctly, canola oil is "food grade rapeseed oil". So for any intents & purposes in the context of a conversation about consumers consuming food products, all rapeseed oil is canola oil.
