[@dieselfuel9794]

heavydiezel you couldn’t of said it better thank you I love my country Canada

[@BrettUpton1]

Thank you Paul. We in Saskatchewan are grateful for you. Please remain #HumboldtStrong all of you.

[@polishcorps7494]

Great Paul I attended the service in edmonton yesterday and watched u perform this tune live u did a amazing job definitely can tell u sang that from ur heart god bless the broncos

[@sandybourbeau9670]

Touched my heart tonight.... Paul Brandt just expressed all the love that is pouring out to all the families and communities affected by this tragedy. Hope all the boys and their families know how much we are walking with them from far & wide. #HumboldtStrong

[@CarolineWolterHall]

Absolutely perfect words. I agree. Sometimes all we can do is "walk alongside of people" and cry with them. Praying for God to comfort the families. 🙏

[@ThePoobears]

as a person who lives in Humboldt it touches me hearing this thank you....

[@joeblack8155]

it is sept and I feel sad about this, I will never get over this as the rest of CANADA. Thank you Paul

[@levelsabove7631]

Very beautiful song and Paul is very well spoken. Broncos in our hearts, #HumboldtStrong

[@scottshook2695]

What is wrong with people to give a thumbs down on such a topic. May God put his hand on these broken hearts over the next few months and years to be honest so everyone involved can heal.

[@Canuckgirl152]

I explained this a few comments above why ppl use the thumbs down , but here is why.....Some use the thumbs down as they hate that this has happened they aren't being disrespectful, they just don't know what the button means !

[@dashcam9353]

People disliked it because CBC monetized the video with ads then removed it once the backlash poured in

[@missadorablemarie]

This made me tear up so touching thanks so much for the beautiful tribute Paul love thoughts and prayers are with all of humbolt may those angels fly high in the heavens and they must be playing hockey up there and remembering their small town of humbolt and their big dreams of hockey may they all R.I.P

[@lothar71]

Scuffed Jane Carrey lol yeah ok your acting like the scumbag

[@francescathorpe4646]

This was beautiful. So much emotion. May they Rest In Peace 🙏🏽❤️

[@kaylascountry1189]

Love this tribute and the song. Its so fitting. Its true that most people are thinking "it could have been us". 10 years ago my town went through something very similar when 8 people died after the school van hit a transport. 7 basketball players and the coach's wife lost their lives on their way home from a game. 5 minutes from home (bathurst boys in red jan 2008) so hearing of the accident with the Humboldt Broncos really did hit close to home for a lot of people here. So many young lives lost way to soon #rip #humboldtbroncos #boysinred

[@katemcphail234]

I'm not crying, you're crying. Well done Paul.

[@amandadaley4092]

[@woxineaucrows7355]

[@Canuckgirl152]

[@tammyshuttleworth4465]

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!! RIP TO ALL WHOM LOST THEIR PRECIOUS LIVES. THIS TRAGIC ACCIDENT HAS DEVASTATED NOT ONLY US CANADIANS, BUT THE WORLD!! I WISH THERE WAS SOMETHING I COULD DO TO HELP EASE THE PAIN OF ALL WHO ARE SUFFERING THE LOSS OF THEIR LOVED ONE'S.

💝😥

[@ivandiablo8282]

today we are all humboldt broncos

[@mmrtactical7764]

How in gods name does a video like this get a thumbs down?!?!

[@Canuckgirl152]

smh..Some use the thumbs down as they hate that this has happened they aren't being disrespectful, they just don't know what the button means !

[@mmrtactical7764]

People don't know what a thumbs down represents even though it's sitting next to a thumbs up? Either way this was a fantastic video that shows how Canada came together...thumbs up seems obvious...SMH.

[@Canuckgirl152]

We know what it means but older people may not

[@mmrtactical7764]

So "older" people are unable to interpret a thumbs down versus thumbs up? common! Define "older" people?

[@joemacdonald7879]

Kitchen party on east coast

[@betteryoubetter]

Sticks on the porch, and please remember April 12th...jersey day in honor of the Broncos....these, like hundreds of thousands of boys that play(ed) our game, are men to be honored. Honor them...PS TSN's Tom Cochrane's tribute hits the mark!...and isn't monetized (shame on CBC)

[@canddg]

As a resident of Humboldt Sask and a long time Paul Brant fan I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart. #humboldtstrong

Standup tribute Paul ❤#humboldtstrong

[@Beandiptheredneck]

It’s June 12 here in Ontario, this song keeps playing, jerseys on every corner and sticks on every porch. I also understand the go fund me is near 10 million dollars! As tragic as this story is the outpouring of support is amazing. Thoughts and prayers for all those boys and their families, gone but not forgotten.

[@44Paws]

❤❤ Our Country is Blessed to have such support ❤❤

[@coolwater55]

Heart rendering. 💗God Bless the young men and their families and Canadians and Hockey. Gratitude.

[@dashcam9353]

People disliked it because CBC monetized the video with ads then removed it once the backlash poured in

What the hell are you putting ads on this for?? Thats the worst

[@mattmiller112]

The ads on the video are out of CBC Musics control. They post the vid and KZbin adds the adverts. They have since been disabled.

[@tudorj1]

video is monetized with ads?????

[@mattmiller112]

CBC Music has disabled them.

[@ignorthepain]

yes its disrespect and thank cbc for getting them out but its not what matters here its the heart of Canada and young men. A family that will be missed and help the others that are in need of help. god bless Canada you are awesome for being there for these men and sons of a nation.

[@mygoldenhoe]

I thank everyone who put together this video for I personally knew some of the boys who were in the accident. All I ask is for advertisements to be disabled on this video. It sickens me to get an ad pushed in my face during the middle of the performance. Its disrespectful.

[@cbcmusic]

Ads have been disabled. Thank you for your comment, Keegan.
