And does that mean that those of us in the U.S. and Canada would suddenly become South Americans?

Geographic North would be the same. Magnetic North would change to South but the process goes back and forth many times over a long period in terms of human lives. The field also reverses in some parts before other parts of the world. Magnetic navigation would be very tricky for a long time. But that's where GPS satellites can take up the slack.

Which way WOULD be North? Magnetic north, by current convention, would be geographic south. "will be" would be more appropriate than "would be" because the poles have reversed before and likely will do so again. When is the question.
