OK, in the last 100 years, it's been used during the Civil Rights movement or when a Governor requested it.

Trump has alienated the United States' strongest ally. https://t.co/0VIIcEw9hw

This is the perhaps best illustration that Trump's new "Monroe doctrine" is objectively achieving the exact opposite of what it intends. pic.twitter.com/M5WJBkoj1M

Carney is currently in Beijing describing a "new era of relations between Canada and China" and explicitly talking…
That's an incredible number: only 16% of EU citizens now consider the US an ally. Even in the UK it's down to a meagre 25%.
— Arnaud Bertrand (@RnaudBertrand) January 16, 2026
In fact perceptions of the U.S. as an ally are in complete collapse globally (only India is a very odd exception).

Ontario Premier Doug Ford said he wasn’t consulted at all by Prime Minister Mark Carney before the PM announced he would drop tariffs on Chinese EVs.

Trump destroyed Poilievre's candidacy with his 51st state jabs, Carney took on a more combative and nationalistic tack that delivered, Poilievre lost his huge lead. Canadians were very outraged by Trump's stance.
Carney is pretty popular now in Canada. Trump essentially killed many industries in Canada with his aggressive tariffs, like lumber, auto manufacturing, and Canadian oil exports to the US are also threatened by the US taking over Venezuela, which has a similar grade oil. So basically Canada and the Libs did a 180 with China and are going to do business with them, with probably some local Chinese EVs plants down the road, and the Chinese gobbling up Canadian grains. Trudeau for all his wimpyness was actually very firm and somewhat hostile to China, Carney is doing away with that now. Carney also fired the more ideological people from the Trudeau cabinet, especially those who were big on climate change and the carbon tax.

You would think those ingrates would be eager and proud to be our 51st state ahead of the likes of Greenland and Venezuela. They had their chance. I believe the window is now closed.
Our leader is trying to wreck everybody’s economy because he wants to capture a sheet of ice where our soldiers already move freely and we are shocked that countries are turning to China? https://t.co/yT24Ai3MRL

Here is your reminder that the president is instituting these tariffs using emergency powers. Whatever your views on trade, there is no serious argument that acquiring Greenland is a national emergency. https://t.co/QSmLRNk7hM
