How should canonical URLs be used with comments?

Canonical URLS are highly recommended for SEO and to prevent competition between duplicate pages. I've been trying to implement this, but I'm unsure how to implement this for pages which repeat but emphasize or expand portions.

Specifically, I'm trying to implement them for comment permalinks. The page still displays all of the main content, but one specific comment they're under is boosted to the top and its children replies are shown. Does that mean the comment should have its own canonical URL or should I redirect everything to the overall page since it's mostly the same?
