in Canada, if your selling ur vehicle to a friend and they dont have ins. who is liable?

Answer 1

If said person immediately transfers title it is their liability, you can't be held responsible for their ignorance of the law.
If it is your vehicle and you sell it, make a bill of sale. have both of you sign it. This dates the sale and is most of the time allowed in court if something happens. Liability is on the friend
If non of the above exist and your friend has purchased your car, then before they transfer title they wreck it......You have to prove they bought the vehicle prior to the wreck. Your insurance would cover it if in fact this is a very good friend and you tell no one he bought it from you.....That's about the best of the possibilities...
