What additives would you add to thicken up canola oil to be used in pastry?
You can't use oil in pastry. You need solid shortening so that you have layers of fat and flour. That is what makes it flaky.
......................
Oil can be used in making pastry, but as has been said, the resulting pastry will not be flaky, but crumbly. One can temporarily thicken some types of oil (especially pure olive oil) by refrigerating it. But the oil warms and returns to liquid state so quickly that it is not possible to produce flaky pastry with it.

Can you use vegetable oil instead of olive oil for bread making?
no, that will not work
To elaborate on the above, the simplest leavened (raised) bread consists of nothing more than flour, water and yeast, and has no requirement of oil. However, oil or melted butter or margarine is usually added along with a small amount of sugar and a bit of salt to make a simple, and somewhat tastier bread. Also, milk is used in place of some or all of the water, adding a bit more nutrition.
There are hundreds of recipes for bread, so the best thing to do is to try a substitution for an ingredient (normally melted butter or margarine in place of oil) and if it works, great! If it does not, then you have simply invented a new bread.
Which oil is healthier to fry in olive oil or canola oil?
OLIVE OIL
Olive oil is made from the flesh of olives rather than the seeds. This means it requires less pressure and lower temperatures during the pressing process, which preserves the nutritional qualities of the oil. Olive oil contains 90 percent unsaturated fats, most of which are the cholesterol-lowering monounsaturates. Olive oil, which by its very nature doesn't need to be processed, is the only oil that can be obtained directly from the flesh of the vegetable and not the seed. This makes olive oil a good choice for your heart. Because it is high in oleic acid and low in linoleic fatty acid, it is slow to spoil. It has a pleasant flavor and can be used both in salad dressings and in cooking. Olive oil is a favorite in Mediterranean cuisine, since olive groves and olive presses are plentiful in that part of the world. Its only drawback is that it contains little omega 3 or omega 6 essential fatty acids. "Virgin" olive oil means that the oil is from the first pressing and has not been refined or chemically processed in any way, such as being bleached or hydrogenated. "Extra virgin" is the highest quality olive oil (for which you pay a slightly higher price). It has a richer, less acidic taste. High temperature cooking destroys the flavor of olive oil, but it is excellent for dressings and the "wet-sauté" method. Avoid olive oil that does not say "virgin" or "extra virgin" on the label, but instead boasts of being "refined" or "pure." "Refined" means that the oil has been chemically processed. "Pure" means nothing more than the oil came from an olive. Even though olive oil is slow to spoil, store it in a cool, dark place in the cupboard. Olive oil is medium in omega 6, but low in omega 3 fatty acids. A combination of flax oil and olive oil in the diet strikes a healthy balance.
