Do you think they wouldn’t if the population and military strength of the two countries were reversed?
They won’t because they’re a tenth the population of the US, and less than that militarily.

You’re factually wrong:
US is 9.9M km2; Canada is 10.0M km2; but Greenland is a hefty 2.2M km2; and for comparison, Alaska is 1.7M km2. If Greenland were an independent country, it would be the 13th largest.
Acquiring Greenland would be a gain of about 20%, and a larger contribution than Alaska.
