U.S. President Donald Trump chastising Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky in an Oval Office photo-op. After Zelensky lamented the U.S. didn't try to stop Russia sooner, it started with Vice President J.D. Vance. I think it's disrespectful for you to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media. God bless you. God bless you.

Jolie says Ukraine needs security against any future Russian aggression.

Anita Anand, the Minister of Internal Trade, has met with her provincial and territorial counterparts. They discussed lifting interprovincial trade barriers on goods, services and qualifications. Anand says the federal government has already taken bold steps. For example, in the areas of procurement, financial services, we are also promoting mutual recognition across sectors, including in the trucking sector where we already have a pilot project underway. And we are also examining labor mobility to ensure that regardless of

where you are licensed or permitted, you'll be able to work wherever demand takes you. Anand says those measures should be in place within two to three business days.

It's the ringtone familiar for many, but Skype's owner, Microsoft, is hanging up on the service. The tech giant wants to move Skype users over to its competing service, Teams. It is one of the few apps that actually became a verb. I will Skype you. Carmi Levy is a tech analyst in London, Ontario. He says the pandemic was the beginning of the end for Skype. Group video conferencing became the things. Being able to manage calendars and invitations. Microsoft put all of its eggs in the Microsoft Teams basket, which is very much like Zoom.

Now Zoom is the hot new verb and Skype is forgotten. Microsoft bought Skype for $8.5 billion US back in 2011. No word yet on how many users are affected today, but Microsoft says they can use Skype until May 5th and then have to log into Teams. And he's hit RECBC News, Calgary.
