Total tangent, but I think "Canola is a neutral oil" is a lie. It's got the most distinctive (and in my opinion, bad) flavor of the common cooking oils.

What would you say is the most neutral oil then?
Sunflower oil? It seems to very reliably taste like nothing.
Personally I have Canola and Sunflower oil tied. Vegetable Oil I guess deserves a mention here too.
If canola oil tastes like something, it's really disgusting IMO. I kinda hate the stuff even though my dad made good money growing it. OTOH, the very sweet smell of the plant's flowers is pleasant enough if pretty basic and the honey is similar.
Shout out to grapeseed oil
