2 removed from Alberta UCP caucus after Kenney criticism

EDMONTON --
The United Conservative Party (UCP) in Alberta has two fewer members in its ranks.
The party caucus met Thursday evening to discuss a letter in which former UCP caucus chair Todd Loewen announced his resignation as chair, and stated Premier Jason Kenney was causing “dysfunction” within the party.
The party voted to remove both Loewen and southern MLA Drew Barnes from the government caucus.
“Members recognize the need for government caucus to remain strong and united behind our leader, Premier Jason Kenney, as we continue to fight through what looks to be the final stages of the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond,” party whip Mike Ellis said in a statement.
