I think that One Police Plaza should be renamed Canada Yard.

Just to be picky, but it should be New Canada Yard.

Maybe, but then the old police headquarters on Centre Street should be called Canada Yard.

I believe it is a play on Scotland Yard being located in England. If we used the same naming convention then we would have to pick the state/country north of us - hence "Canada Yard"

Any NYCT bus depot could be called Canada Yard since all the buses are Canadian.

Police Plaza would need to be renamed first.

One time I was working with a Detective from Scotland Yard and an FBI Agent in Manhattan at Hugh Jackman's apartment on Perry Street and he had a strong Cockney accent and me and him were conversing and the midwest whitebread FBI Agent said he couldn't understand a word we were saying because of our accents! Then when we were done working, we went out boozing and our accents got worse!
