        cheques are definitely still a thing in canada (companies still use them for one-off payments and landlords still use them to collect rent) and you can now deposit them by taking a picture with your phone.

      how do yall usually handle down payments, like on cars and houses and such? those are the only times I’d really expect to use a check in my part of the US
