The name comes from CANadianOiL  and it is genetically engineered 
rapeseed plant that is very low in erucic acid, the compound that makes 
rapeseed unsuitable for human consumption. There are many other 
differences as well and the two are not the same. Canola is not the same as 
rape-seed.

There is a LOT of BS on the internet about Canola as well, much of it can be 
classified as urban myth or worse. It really is difficult to know what to 
believe.
