The following excerpt is from Nemeth v. Yasin, 2015 ONSC 558 (CanLII):
The decision in Henwood v. Coburn reveals that vicarious liability under s. 192 of the Highway Traffic Act is an extensive long-arm policy and that if an owner expressly or impliedly; for example, by making available the keys to the vehicle, entrusts the physical possession of the vehicle to another person, then the vehicle owner will be vicariously liable for the operation of that vehicle on a highway by the person entrusted with the vehicle.
