The name "canola" was chosen by the board of the Rapeseed Association of Canada in the 1970s. The "Can" part stands for Canada and "ola" refers to oil. Thanks, Wikipedia. I'm midly allergic to it & other plants related to Brassicae, so I have to avoid most commercial foods cooked with Canola oil as an ingredient. Which is most of them these days.

Ugh, that has got to be brutal.

If you and I ever wish to share a meal we'll need to stick to olive oil. Or hey, sesame oil, we can live a little.
Olives are a maybe food.
Sesame, though, is A-OK. I love sesame seed crisp-cookies.
Interesting. Olives never trouble me (unless pickled in citrus of course). But then, I can eat gluten too, which is kind of odd given the rest of my issues.
