When a process starts a kernel call, it will not be context-swapped until it finishes executing the call. That is, the kernel will not change the executing process as long as it is kernel code that is in execution. There are many reasons for this. The patch makes it OK to to context swapping in the middle of kernel execution, helping all processes get an equal amount of CPU time.
Although many people speak more than one language, they generally prefer to conduct business in their native one. Besides, what do you mean by a language called "american"? Latin America is part of America too so I guess you mean spanish or portuguese.
I think your idea of the American economy dipping and causing Canada's economy to dip is only showing your lack of logic and geographical culture since Canada is part of America, and the situation you propose of America's economy dipping implies by semantics and not by reaction that Canada's economy also dips.
Thanks for the comment. My only intent though was to make it clear that it is not politically correct to use the word America to refer to the U.S., since America also encompasses other countries like Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, etc. When in doubt consult a map.
I've got another story: They haven't figured out that America is the name of a Continent, and there are more people (like Canadians and Latin Americans) that are Americans besides them. Jeez, how bad can their education in geography be!

Coudn't this count as an attempt to reverse-engineer the communication protocol of networked applications and therefore be breaking the DMCA??

Sorry to break it to you, but I'm not Canadian. I'm American. In particular I come from Mexico althought I live in another part of America, the US.
