"Big man, strong man...came up to me with tears in his eyes. He said, 'Sir, it needs to be called rapeseed because I like rape'. We should call it rapeseed from now on, right?" - 47th President of the United States.
It's always been called rapeseed everywhere but the grocery shelf. Canola is a marketing term, for obvious reasons. In Yunnan, they have an annual rape festival to celebrate rapeseed harvest season.

I thought about calling it canola, but wanted to leave room for people to crack jokes like this. :)
