They've been mailed to Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta

Keep an eye on your mailbox today, there should be a cheque from the federal government.

Those living in Ontario,  Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba will receive the quarterly carbon-price rebate payments.

The carbon tax is only charged in those provinces since they are the only regions without a provincial levy that meets the federal standard.

Meanwhile, a Leger Marketing survey last weekend suggests 70 per cent of Canadians are worried about climate change.

Specifically, it points out fewer people in Ontario and the Prairies believe climate change is caused by people, compared to those in Atlantic Canada and Quebec.

Also, people in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta are less concerned about climate change than the rest of the country.
