    Hi Canuck

    you have my deepest sympathy, I was born swiss , but raised in South Africa & then relocated back when I was 13. I couldnt speak german or swiss german properly & it was hell...your are right with everything you say, but hey.. I take it that this is the first country you have immigrated to...
    perhaps you might try to remember the world doesnt rotate around you, but hey to the swiss the world rotates around them! also dont forget, like in any other place there are the ignorant & when you live in such a small country, have never travelled, except to italy for a holiday,they dont know otherwise...
    try to stop being the victim & fight them, give them a smile each day, & try to lighten the conversation & perhaps even ask them if they dont like you or if they really dislike foreigners. ps. do this with light in you eyes & a smile.
    btw, if you are living in the german speaking part & have a french accent... that will be a problem. But hey if you really dont like it in switzerland, grab your hubby & move back to canada or alternatively, forget about the peeps & take what switzerland has to offer, enjoy the sport, the safety & security, the money & the certificate.. believe me if you show a work/education certificate anywhere in the world they are impressed... take the good & forget the rest...
    again dont forget you are scaring the hell out of them with your worldliness & slaping their narrow mindedness in their face (even if you arnt, they perceive it so)
    ps. see if there isnt a swiss/canadian association somewhere close or any other english speaking one
    Keep your head up & hey remember its not about you, its about what your soul has to learn & this is maybe it...
    all the best.
