ELI5: Why is the Greek debt front page news worldwide when the Canadian province of Ontario has an almost equal debt that is twice that of California's and is never written about?

Greek debt/GDP ratio - 177.1%

Ontario debt/GDP ratio - 48.2%

The dollar value of debt isn't what's important. What's important is your ability to pay it. If a person earning $20,000 is $100,000 in debt they're having a bad time. If a person earning $1,000,000 is $100,000 in debt they're fine.
