The book was revised and reissued in March 2016! Ursula emigrated to Canada alone in 2001 at the age of 51. She had met a Swiss Canadian online in 1999, and a relationship developed from that. In her book "Canada is Bear Strong," Ursula writes about her first 14 years in a foreign country, with a foreign language and a man she barely knew. Her stories and experiences are written with much love and humor. There are sad and beautiful moments, just as life unfolds. The reader quickly realizes that animals take up a significant place in Ursula's life. She also describes how Urs and she lived on the mountain at the beginning. There was nothing but bush; they created everything with their own hands. For the first two years, they had no running water, but they did have a television, which a normal person in Canada cannot do without.
