There’s been no talk of military attacks against Canada and Greenland/Denmark to my knowledge (as a Canadian).

It's very unlikely, but even the fact that they mention it as a possibility feels just crazy to me.
You don't have to worry if you live in Canada though, I think this is just politicians trolling.
I just find the rhetoric to be a bit obscene (82% of Canadians are against it according to a recent poll!), but this is a question of perspective. Also, some impact (like the additional taxes / tariffs during imports) are real, not just a joke.
As far as Canada goes, Trump's national security advisors is on the record [4] saying he doesn't think there's any plans about this. Which is also an extremely uncertain way of talking about military action about your closest neighbor. Trump has repeatedly talked about making Canada the 51st state [1], and called Trudeau a "Governor" [2]. Here's a New York time article summing up the types of threats/attacks Trump made wrt. Canada[3].

Donald Trump has specifically ruled out a lot of things that he then promptly did. He's also followed through enough that his threats have to be taken seriously. As a result, you get a hodgepodge of half-assed threats, each of which can be plausibly denied until followed through on, at which point you're asked how you didn't see him doing the thing he said he would do.
and now openly talks about military force
He wants to buy it, but what happens when Denmark refuses. He also asked the Pentagon to draw up plans for Panama.
