Two drivers are stopped on opposite sides of a through road. One is turning right, the other is turning left, Which one has the right of way?

I would like to know about right turns at the intersection of Dunbar Street and 16th Avenue in Vancouver. When turning right from Dunbar northbound to 16th eastbound, is it legal to turn right on a red light from the middle lane?
I would like to have a clarification on how to do a left turn at a yellow light. At a big intersection with a green light, a vehicle is on a complete stop waiting for a safe gap to do a left turn. The car is positioned to the right of the centre line and over a crosswalk but has not yet passed the third line (the stop line as the first line, the inner line of crosswalk as the second line, and the outer line of a crosswalk as the third line).
Today I was almost in a traffic collision. I was turning right and people across the intersection were turning left. The street we were turning onto had two lanes either side of the centre. I assumed all of the people turning left would end their turn in the left-most lane because they were turning out of the only left turn lane and I was taught you shouldn't be changing lanes in an intersection.
Who is liable for the crash when one driver swings wide to turn right into his driveway and an overtaking driver passes on the right at the same time? That is the question decided by Justice Brown in the case of Tang v Rogers.
This case involves a serious collision at the intersection of the Trans Canada Highway and Bench Road in North Cowichan. A southbound car turning left at the intersection and a northbound motorcycle proceeding at high speed facing a yellow traffic light meet in the middle.
