I rarely carry cash (or even a wallet) around anymore and I agree it's convenient. But one thing that bothers me is that we've allowed something like one percent of our entire retail economy to go directly towards supporting a rent-seeking American duopoly (Mastercard and Visa).

The crazy thing is that we've got a payment system that is free (Osko) but we can't be bothered moving to it.
