Alberta jobs minister Doug Schweitzer quits cabinet, to resign seat soon, tooEDMONTON — Alberta’s jobs minister is leaving politics even earlier than planned. Doug Schweitzer, in a brief message posted on social media, says he has resigned from cabinet as the minister for jobs, economy and innovation. And he says he will resign as the United Conservative Party legislature member for Calgary-Elbow by the end of the month. He then served in Kenney's cabinet as justice minister before moving to the jobs portfolio. Schweitzer's decision comes as the party moves toward an Oct. 6 vote to replace Kenney as party leader and premier.
