For the most part, no, as that's just shit that happens every year in the Canadian prairies... Most parts of Canada have a few -30c days a year...
I'm pretty sure Ontario as a whole has more than a few -30 days. Same goes for (at least some of) Quebec. Manitoba is also cold to the same degree.
It's mainly just the west coast that's warmer. I'm not too sure about the east.
I agree with the op.
What's your definition of "few"? I used to work outside in the Ottawa region until 2020 (which is known to be a pretty fucking cold region) so I was exposed to it and -30c days (actual temperatures, not windchill) happened maybe 10 or 15 times a year... At night though, we would go down to -30c more often than that and it was a pain to work in...
I'm in and around that area now, I was taking into account wind-chill. Without wind-chill, I suppose -30 and below isn't nearly as common as I made it out to be.
Although in north-western Ontario, it at least used to reach that in February quite often. Definitely feels colder in the capital region with the dampness.
Working at night at -30 sounds terrible, sorry you had to endure that.
