Yet, most of Canada in late June hasn't reached 30C or 86F.

30C and 86F

Whether its 30C or 86F, they are the same.

Seattle in June

 https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/seattle/98104/june-weather/351409 Wow, Seattle actually got to have 18 June days that were at least 70F. That's pretty bad that barely half of June got above 70F. Only 8 days in June reached or exceeded 80F. That's pretty sad to barely have just over a quarter of June in the 80s. However, only 6 days in June were at least 30C or 86F. 

https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/anchorage/99501/june-weather/346835 At least Seattle was warmer than Anchorage, Alaska today. 

Seattle usually has significantly hotter summer days than Vancouver, BC (V-BC).

Vancouver and Victoria, BC having some cold weather nights

https://www.accuweather.com/en/ca/vancouver/v6c/june-weather/53286 Well, it looks like Vancouver, BC will have had 20 June days above 20C. Only 10 of those days were over 25C and there were only 2 days that were at least 30C of 86F. That's hardly a June heatwave, but perhaps it is when compared to Alaska and Siberia.
