UTC uses the concept of leap seconds. Internal kernel clock ticks measure the number of seconds since midnight UTC, January 1, 1970...
Are those sidereal seconds or mean solar seconds?
Well, the second is a well defined physical unit in SI (see e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second). Something must be terribly wrong with the acceptance of SI in Canada if you ask such a question.
Oh, the atomic second. These are all three very different things, you know.
