Can you provide some links about this? I always assumed that canola and rapeseed were synonymous.

It looks to be covered in the opening paragraph of the Wikipedia article.

> Canola are a group of rapeseed cultivars which were bred to have very low levels of erucic acid and are especially prized for use as human and animal food.

They are of course very similar products, but it's not a mere branding difference as the parent comment suggested.
