Ted Menzies: The member for the riding of Macleod tweeted the news before releasing a more detailed statement thanking his wife, staff and long-time constituents for their support, according to Huffington Post. "I am retiring from politics but look forward to another exciting career ahead. Thank you all for the opportunity to proudly represent the most beautiful riding in Canada, and for the privilege to represent some of the greatest people I will ever know." OTTAWA - Alberta Conservative backbench MP Ted Menzies, who last summer declared he wouldn't run again in 2015, has announced his immediate resignation from the House of Commons. "The time has come for me to move on," Menzies said, noting that his decision earlier this year to surrender his ministerial duties allowed him to focus on helping flood-ravaged residents of southern Alberta.
