I'm still confused why the boom doesn't seem to get much mainstream attention.

Does any boom get much mainstream attention outside of the multi-decade ascension of China or perhaps those attention grabbing projects in Dubai? Once in a blue moon, a story about Toronto's boom will air in Buffalo (due to proximity) or Chicago (their #2 skyscraper ranking being threatened). Perhaps in the lead-up to the 2026 FIFA WC, a country playing Toronto might shine a light on Toronto's growth but I doubt things of this nature interest most people.
First time tourists often quip in puzzlement why they never hear about Toronto so it's not just you wondering why. A big reason has to do with where media embed journalists. For he most part, world media don't have embedded journalists posted to Canada so they don't bother covering Canada at all. They'd have to fly a journalist in which costs money. It only happens in rare instances when a story is so huge they can't ignore it.
