My employer, in our long range planning, are just starting to account for $170/tonne carbon tax. Not really changing direction, just accelerating trends.

I am not sure how much of an impact switching to all electric buses will have to the overall GHG emissions in the transportation sector:
Energy and Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHGs)
The main issue we have is trucking, passenger trucks and cars. The rest are almost a rounding error.

Yep, this is almost entirely about personal cars/SUVs/pickups, and heavy goods trucks. Aviation is a big bogeyman but even eliminating it won't move the needle much.
We'll also need to decarbonize building systems, and some big industrial processes.

It's never going to be a 1:1 replacement. Eliminating a car requires the development of intercity transport options in addition to public transit.

I think most of it is going to be via electrification (BEV).

I assume the Rogers clan will be quarantining in an airport hotel when they return home??
This from BlogTO https://www.blogto.com/city/2021/05/toronto-mar-a-lago-trump/
"What do the chairman of Rogers Communications, the niece of Toronto Raptors founder John Bitove, and former U.S. president Donald J. Trump all have in common (aside from having tons of money)?
They were all spotted hanging out the latter rich person's exclusive Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida, this past weekend despite Ontario's stay-at-home orders, much to the shock and revulsion of Toronto "society" watchers.
Even worse, the Canadian elites weren't covertly photographed by some third-party gossip hound — they were proudly outed by one of their own, fashion philanthropist Suzanne Rogers.

Transportation in general is a minor problem, especially given that the car manufacturers are going ahead with electric.I am not sure how much of an impact switching to all electric buses will have to the overall GHG emissions in the transportation sector:

Canadian politics is a joke, be it NDP LIB or CPC they're all corrupt. There is no party that's "decent" because they all do shady stuff. And in the end the normal people get screwed over.Previously Frozen Political Landscape Now Moving in Favour of Liberals

She had said a few months ago that she was not running in next election so I assume she has probably received offers from the private sector and though 'let's get it over with'. She could. probably, just have take on almost full time work and collected her MP salary at the same time for a few more months so I suppose she should be commended.Veteran Conservative MP Diane Finley resigns seat in House of Commons

Let me guess. You voted NDP or CPC and are frustrated the party you like isn't in power.
In my experience. That's usually where the, "they're all the same," comes from. Sour grapes.
