Don’t believe everything you read on the Internet.

As to why this chef uses it–it is because it has a high smoking point, so it is useful for stir-frying and making curries without adding any flavor of its own to the dishes cooked with it. And it is a polyunsaturated fat rich in Omega 3 fatty acids.

BTW–it has been used traditionally in India and China for hundreds of years with no ill effects.

Rather than explain all the reasons why canola is bad, just google it and you will find out why.

I do appreciate knowing that my recipes always work for you–I have had similar comments from quite a few folks in the past, so it makes me feel pretty good about my ability to accurately write down a recipe.
