What is the ratio when substituting canola oil for shortening in recipes?

The ratio is one to one, but you might not like the results depending upon what you're making.

For example, it's probably fine to use oil instead of shortening in cakes, but cookies will be flatter and crispier. This is because the oil stays a liquid at all temps but the shortening is solid at room temp.
