You're probably good if you're far enough away from the cities and civilization. Do you have one of those insulated and solar heated greenhouses? Doesn't freeze here, but got close enough last year that all the hot peppers bit the big one. This past winter was fine for all but a few extra sensitive plants.
This is one of many youtubers who visited this 'greenhouse in the snow'. One of his heating methods is a long underground air circulation pipe that picks up relative heat from underground and brings it into the greenhouse. I've seen several others like this, including in Canada. You could grow tropicals with this style of greenhouse. Or, just veggies in the winter.
What I've gathered is you need to insulate and only glass the south side facing the sun. Partially underground helps, as well as a thermal mass to keep the temps up overnight.

They all need to leave except the actual Canadians.
