Some economists say Canadians will notice a difference in some costs and also in the lack of rebates.

The carbon price was geared towards putting a price on pollution to get people to use fewer fossil fuels.

The federal government tried to offset its carbon pricing plan with the Canada Carbon Rebate .

A family of four in Ontario living in a city could receive up to $1,120 annually .

Lander says a Canadian family might have been paying more at the gas station or on their home heating bill upfront .

Lander also notes that when looking at the entire year , the savings may not amount to much.

“Even if we were to say the average family is losing out on $150 to $500 , put that over 365 days and you're talking about a couple of Timbits to a small cup of coffee at Tim Hortons ,” he said.
