-North America has been pushed 20 degrees south.
-Europe, Asia, and most of Oceania have been pushed 35 degrees south.
-South America and Africa have been pushed 40 degrees south.
-Antarctica and subantarctic islands have been pushed 20 degrees north.
-Australia and New Zealand have been pushed 10 degrees south.
Also, what would change when it comes to currents?

Well, that would put the Canadian border at the same parallel as San Antonio, TX is now, Barrow, AK would be at the 51st parallel, that would put Miami at the same latitude as Baranquilla, Colombia, Rio de Janeiro would be at 61°S, everything south of Sao Paolo would be above the Antarctic Circle, and techically, South America would have crashed into Antarctica in this situation, this would also put the equator through Central Mexico and it would run through the Mediterranean Sea and through the Himalaya's, and New Zealand and Australia would possibly be Subpolar climates in this scenario

It would probably be around Aberdeen, WA on the Pacific Coast, which would be at the same latitude that Punta Eugenia on the Baja Peninsula is currently
The West Coast of British Columbia would resemble Southern California today. I would be in the equivalent of Baja California. Desert-like and the brief rainy season in summer rather than winter probably.

In current Baja, wet winter doesn't grade to wet summer until below Punta Eugenia (28°N)

Are you sure about Vancouver being a desert when it's near the coast?
