A new poll suggests almost a third of Canadians say the United States might attempt "direct action" to take control of Canada, with a fifth of Americans agreeing.
I think that’s a fair take, but I believe the person you’re replying to was more looking at how the US under Trump is currently saber rattling with:
Greenland
Venezuela
Mexico
Canada
Iran
While it would be one thing if the US was only saber rattling with Canada, but they’re actively courting wars with up to five different nations, including one in the Eastern hemisphere, all at once. I believe the point they were making is that it would be impossible for the US to handle all those wars, even if it’s conceivable that they could invade and take over Canada alone. Greenland is being actively threatened to the point that NATO soldiers are being sent there, Canada is not being actively threatened in the same way. Mexico is also being threatened with military action to “stop the cartels” (which probably means just taking over the cartels).
Edit:
Sorry Trump didn’t threaten invasion, it was a threat about making “a deal before it’s too late” because they got a lot of their oil from Venezuela.

You forgot Cuba.

I agree with everything you said.
