Though technically true, in this party-driven system, the MPs are kept in-line with what the PM wants. In theory you're voting for an MP to represent you, but it does feel like in practice you vote for an MP to represent their leader.

Am I literally voting for Carney? No. Am I voting for the guy that will get Carney in office? Yeah

With the NDP that's not the case. The ANDP are much different than the Federal NDP's but your point is still valid.
