The best course of action for Canada and Europe is to get carry out preemptive action against the United States and Trump. Whether that is legal challenges or militarily. It is better to prevent the invasion of Greenland than wait for the US to attack first.

Measures need to be taken by Europe and Canada to remove US bases across Greenland and Europe, and to flip law abiding US generals, governors, senators to the alliance. The invasion of Greenland must be made to be the most costly decision the US has ever made in its history.

Jan. 6 was widely condemned at the time, recognized as a violent attack on America. Trump clearly caused it by lying about the election to attempt a coup.
Within a year, Trump, GOP politicians and right-wing media flipped Republicans to neutral/positive, rendering it another muddy partisan dispute.
