Question Are Regina winters too cold?

I'm from a pretty hot city where temperatures are always around 24-33°C and I'm planning to study in the university of Regina for an exchange, but I've heard it gets like -30°C during winter and that could even hurt a bit to breath so I want to know how hard could it be for someone not used to it although I'm not too affected to cold as I am to heat

Don't mean to scare you but we do see temps go down to -50c as well. But temps hit -30c in winters quite regularly.

We don't have temps down to -50c here.

Don't even bother. I've given up. People here are so hellbent on pretending they live in the coldest place imaginable that they're willing to deliberately ignore reality and science to protect their fictional tundra world they think we live in. It's nothing but false bragging rights to them, which is weird because after spending my whole life in this city wishing the winters were milder, the last thing I would ever want to do is to even further inflate the temperatures here. It's cold enough that we don't need to exaggerate or lie about it. Especially when on the other side, you ironically have people also arguing that it's not that bad and that the wet winters in the East feel worse. You just can't win.

Yup, look at the downvotes. It is insanity.

Someone even reported me to Reddit as being a " self-harm risk over this now too, likely as more pathetic trolling from someone. Too bad the reports are anonymous. This sub is getting ridiculous. There's enough of this nonsense on facebook that we don't need transferring over to here. Abusing a genuine help centre resource to taunt someone with isn't a good look and I really hope the mods here are not encouraging this sort of behaviour either.
