Can i use regular veg oil uk, to make soap. Rapeseed oil. Is same as canola?

Both are the same thing. North America is just scared of anything with the letters "rape" in it so they call it canola. They don't understand that the name of oilseed rape is because it is a plant of the turnip family, which in Latin is "rapa".

canola oil has less than 30 micromoles of glucosinolates and less than 2% of erucic acid. So no, they're not the same....
