Whose fault is it by Canadian laws when the driver of a parked car opens his door and hits the side of a moving vehicle that just entered that lane?

I cannot speak specifically to Canda, but in the US it would be the opening door vehicle that is at fault, most of the time. You cannot open or enter any traffic until safe to do so.
