EDMONTON—The United Conservative Party says one of its legislature members has resigned from caucus. United Conservative Leader Jason Kenney issued a terse statement Friday that said Don MacIntyre resigned at about noon. A tweet from MacIntyre says he’s resigning to focus on family, but it does not specify whether he is stepping down as an MLA or just leaving caucus. The United Conservative Party did not return phone calls requesting comment. MacIntyre was elected to the legislature in the constituency of Innisfail-Sylvan Lake in 2015 under the Wildrose banner before the party merged with the United Conservatives.
