Indeed, the cost of having cheques printed is a huge nuisance.
Many craftsmen accept CCs (typically MC and Visa only), but they donīt neccessarily like it.
Many people use Interac e-transfer for making rental payments / paying the babysitter etc. - afaik some banks charge a fee, but I donīt know which ones.
