If North America was moved 10 degrees further south in latitude would it have more habitable area? (climate, warm)

[deneb78]

If North America was suddenly moved 10 degrees latitude further south, do you think North America would have much more habitable land area than now with much of Northern Canada moving into the temperate zone? Other than warmer winters across the board, how would such a shift affect climates overall across the continent?
Some new latitudes of major cities:

Miami, FL 15N
Phoenix, AZ 23N
Los Angeles, CA 24N
Las Vegas, NV 26N
Dallas, TX 23N
Washington, DC 28N
NYC 30N
Chicago, IL 32N
Boston, MA 32N
San Francisco, CA 27N
Portland, OR 35N
Seattle, WA 37N
Toronto, ON 33N
Montreal, QC 35N
Vancouver, BC 39N
Whitehorse, YT 50N
Yellowknife, NT 52S
Iqaluit, NU 53N
Baker Lake, NU 54N
Barrow, AK 61N
Pond Inlet, NU 63N
Resolute, NU 64N
Alert, NU 72N

For one the Canadian vortex, which resides next to the Hudson Bay, and derives all its cold air from the US subtropics, will not be as strong, won't dig as far south. There will be more open ocean at the artic sea so some new currents might form and warm up certain areas. I wish it were this easy, just move the continent south. Toronto and Montreal will have humid subtropical climates, I'm assuming British Columbia and the pnw gets a Mediterranean climate, Boston, Chicago, and NYC get humid subtropical climates, DC might be borderline tropical if the vortex weakens enough.

I don't think Los Angeles would be considerably different (it would be different, just not much compared to places like Dallas or Montreal).

Dallas would probably have slightly hotter summer highs, much warmer lows, and much longer summers, with short, mild winters.

LA would probably be like Mazatlan is now, and Phoenix would either be like Culiacan, or like Luxor, Egypt plus summer rain

on the truth,the Canadian vortex are actually weak,because this him breaks and derive all that cold to US,while the Southern Hemisphere Polar vortex are very strong,because this nearly never breaks.

I think the area around Hudson Bay would see the biggest change. It would go from a frozen wasteland that is mostly tundra to a mixed deciduous forest in the Southern parts and boreal forest in the northere parts. Moosonee at 41N on James Bay which is essentially a small Inlet on Hudson Bay could be a large city with an important seaport. It could have a climate similar to Providence, RI is now

How about if you did this and moved North America 35 degrees west?

That would make it crash into Asia.

[jackierudetsky]

How about if it were moved 10 degrees south and 65 degrees west, assuming other continents have been moved too?

Toronto would be like Myrtle Beach, but more continental.

Chicago will be like Dallas.
