Use canola oil for supporting Canadian  product,
I have switched to grapeseed oil for 15 years now,
it is better taste, more versatile and relatively inexpensive, say
5 litres for under $30, I mix it with EVOO for most of the cooking,
EVOO for dressing and dipping

I use olive oil for cooking because it seems all scientific research recommends it.

You cannot use high quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil for high temp cooking,
i.e. deepfrying and stir-frying, that is the reason I mix it with grapeseed oil,
which is an excellent  natural anti-oxidant ingredient.
As I stated earlier, I use estate olive oil for bread dipping and  salad
dressing, roasting etc.

I know, that is why I buy ordinary Olive oil for cooking only and I never deep fry anything. There is enough deep fried food when you eat out already.

You should use flax seed oil which is even better than olive oil.

Flax seed oil is for supplement 5-15 ml daily.
I would not cook with it because it is thick and does not withstand heat,
it taste weird and slimy.
I would use  ground flax meal in baking , cooking & Bubbletea;   Blueberry, Tofu and Flax seed smoothie is a good vegan energy drink packed with anti-oxidant, Omega 3, calcium, protein, iron and minerals.

Not all the Canola oil are created equal, for foodservice, there are low-end
Canola oil , 16 Litres for $35 and good Hi-Lo Canola oil would soars to $60
per pail.
Personally I much prefer the grapeseed oil for the flavour and versatile from
stir-frying, deepfrying and salad dressing,  it's natural anti-oxidation property
is a bonus, and the price is quite similar to Canola oil  S28 for 5 Litres bottle.
