In a joint address with Prime Minister Narendra Modi following their meeting, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney invoked Swami Vivekananda, describing him as one of the greatest philosophers and highlighting his historic visit to Vancouver.

"I was reminded of Swami Vivekananda, one of the greatest philosophers... In his travels and texts, he personified the maxim, ‘Arise, Awake, and Stop not till the goal is reached’.
