Diesel, offshore oil and an India trade mission on The Planet D

Dave and Deb's seven uploads connect Canada-US tensions with energy projects, defense spending and trade diversification.

Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

The Planet D gave Dave and Deb plenty of ground to cover: Russian diesel, Newfoundland offshore oil, Alberta military bases and Canadian businesses looking toward India. Across seven uploads, their Canadian political commentary kept returning to the same question: how much leverage does Canada have beyond its relationship with Washington?

The largest new upload was "It's OFFICIAL: Trump BETRAYS NATO With Russia Diesel Deal as Canada SEIZES $14B Oil Project!", reaching about 311,000 views. The pair frame the proposed Russian fuel purchases as a breach of trust with allies, then contrast short-term diesel relief with the longer horizon of the Bay du Nord offshore project. Their description puts Shell and Equinor's involvement at the center of that Canadian investment story.

The newest trade-diversification episode shifts the focus to Mumbai and Bengaluru. Dave and Deb discuss a mission led by Trade Minister Maninder Sidhu, connecting uranium supplier Cameco and McCain's potato business with their argument for reducing dependence on the US market. It is drawing the most daily views of any video on the channel right now, followed by the diesel-and-Bay-du-Nord episode and their discussion of Zelenskyy, fuel prices and Canada's support for the International Criminal Court.

Elsewhere, an August trade-surplus explainer drew the week's second-largest new audience. An oil-company acquisition and defense investment in Alberta supplied other versions of the pair's recurring theme: Canadian assets, Canadian decisions and the consequences of tariffs.

The channel added around 1,000 subscribers over the week, although its current daily viewing is well below its usual level. Among nearby political-commentary channels, Jay Black and The Mark Dolan Show had larger weekly view gains, while Planet Tyrus had a notably bigger subscriber increase. For The Planet D, the latest India episode gives this week's familiar cross-border discussion a different set of businesses and destinations.
