Olive oil has its places, but it's not that good for cooking, especially frying. If you want to replace canola (and you should, especially your mom as it is particularly bad for women over 40), then switch to coconut oil or lard for cooking. Use butter a lot more too.
A cheap alternative is peanut oil, which is good but also very high in omega-6. So while it takes care of a lot of the problems presented by canola, it doesn't solve all of them like the prior suggestions would.
But since so many people are scared of saturated fat, I guarantee you will fail at this, at least until you are living on your own.
