The Canadian cities speak for themselves as metros they simply build either taller across their metros, or just in more high rise building density in their cores.
On the US side, the DC metro area is such a sleeper when it comes to the amount of nodes of 20+ story buildings. No true "skyscrapers" in the region, but there's significant high rise buildings 250-470 feet that have gone up in 5/6 different suburban DC nodes. It has the most nodes across it's metro adding those after NYC and Miami.

Not surprised at all. Toronto is the 5th largest city in North America so I would expect them to have supertalls.
Austin isn't even in the top 10 largest cities and it's putting them up too. That's the surprise here.
Toronto is interesting in that their high rises expand for miles and miles outside of the urban core. I visit every few years and it’s remarkable driving the QEW constantly seeing the new towers and cranes forming an arc around Lake Ontario in the outer ‘burbs.
Atlanta is doing this on a smaller scale, as skylines in Buckhead, Sandy Springs and Vinings have risen taller in recent years.

I've spent a lot of time there. It's cool that they have high rises that span so far outside the city but not that impressed by suburban hi rise sprawl.

Its strange because Austin is struggling with occupancy rate.
