Why Justin Trudeau In The Middle & NOT Emmanuel Macron?

Probably because Justin is taller, and the photographer picked the tallest person to assemble/arrange/center the photos.

Because Trudeau doesn't mind a little rain.

Actually, they were ordered by the size of their hands.. That’s why Trump didn’t fit in the frame.

Who is the twink third from left wearing a cape?!?

Call me Mary! but I think that is a really great and powerful picture. No Trump in sight and a unified front (against Trump and Putin?).

Was it the commemoration at Dieppe? If so, that was a battle focused on the Canadian expeditionary forces. That may be why Trudeau is front and centre.

R5 MARY!

There are four wide white stripes on the right -- and then there's a skinny stripe, on which Macron is clearly walking. I wonder if we're not seeing the entire width of the street and in actuality, Macron is in the center with the other most important figure of the photo, Angela Merkel, to his immediate right (even further to the left, if the center is most important, as you're saying.) Otherwise, why does the stripe pattern change? (unless everything about the striping is asymetrical but that's not usually the case, is it?)

Also Trudeau and Macron's wife seem to be the 'center couple' rather than Justin being the centerpiece. Anyhow, if you know anything about contemporary politics, one glance and you know Merkel and Macron are the most important people, the leaders of the western world now that there's a lunatic in the White House.

As usual, Trump an embarrassment to the US.

The Canadian Expeditionary forces were instrumental in many of the later battles. They deserve to be represented front and centre but I honestly don’t think there was any major organisation of where people stood in that row. Macron and Merkel will always be next to or close to each other though.

R4 he's the future king of Morocco, Hassan the third.

Silly OP. Being in the middle of a photo is not the same as being in the middle of the actual parade.

No Trump in the photo. He's an asshole.

And Trudeau?

What's Nancy Sinatra doing there?

I love Justin.

Because Trudeau's forceful admonishment of our pansy-in-chief/draft-dodging/loving of soldiers who didn't suffer in war(s) and was too much a snowflake to get his hair wet, puts him square in the center of the coming worldwide denouncement and process to rid the planet of Trump, that's why.

Canada has inked a new trade agreement with the EU. The axis is realigning from Canada-US to Canada-China/Europe.

Chinese electric cars enter the Canadian market next month as well. Buh-bye legacy American automakers.

I should be in the middle of Trudeau and Macron. This is the only correct answer, OP. I'm practicing my oui oui as I type.

I may be wrong, but I think they are walking, as a unified group, up to the Arc de Triumph for the cerimonies to commemorate the end of WW1. Once they got there and took their positions, they had to wait for Trump who was late. Then they had to wait a little longer for Putin. The two assholes of the world trying to out do each other.

this was taken last year

yes, it was, different year, different commemoration.

so again why is he in the middle?

Because he’s walking through a town that was the site of a battle led largely by Canadians.

Maybe because the photographer or publisher had a crush on Trudeau -- "Tear down that BITCH of a bearing wall and put a window where it OUGHT to be!"

I know this is fucked up, given that it's such a somber occasion, but I'm somewhat jealous of Angela here.

Justin Trudeau's ass should be front and center

That photo makes me want to cry. There's the world. And then there's shithead.

Old in NYC - what is your opinion of Justin Trudeau?

I'd have to interrogate him VERY thoroughly and at length before giving a definitive answer, but, preliminarily, he's HOT.

R30 I guess us Canadians should all be grateful I guess

I know this site loves wimps so I'm sure Macron and Trudeau are your favorites.

Trudeau can take anyone in a boxing ring - that is no characteristic of a wimp

Correct I suspect [R1] Even if Justin wasn't in the centre I think because of his height ,physique and movie star looks it would have been natural for people to gravitate towards him visually first anyway so made more sense to have him as the natural centre.

R33 anyone bottling his sweat could strike it rich by selling it.

It's from this year, R21.

That picture was cropped. Here's a wider shot and even it doesn't show the entire width of the street, but it looks like Macron and Merkel were in the center. You have to scroll down a bit to see the wider shot.

Told ya.

Because he's not under an umbrella, the light is hitting his (Trudeau's) face more than Macron's. He's taller as well.

Who is the black woman in the blue dress? Love her coat.

R27, here's Trudeau's amazing ass:

I would let Justin Trudeau bend me over that desk:
