YYZ-YYC is a Premium Long Haul Route, so it gets upgraded food. The food on rouge on rouge is identical to AC's food on non-premium routes. Most business travel routes with high yields are Premium Long Haul; the most common premium routes are YYZ/YUL/YOW-YYC/YEG/YVR/SFO/LAX

Regular mainline is 2 choices, the same as Rouge.
YYZ-YYC is only Signature Class when it's a widebody. For Narrowbody, it is Premium Long Haul, so it still gets 4 meal choices. But when they substitute rouge on the route, they only offer the rouge spec, despite it being a Premium Long Haul Route, so if you get a rouge flight on that route, it's only 2 meal choices. So while rouge is in the mix, there are 3 possible meal standards on YYZ-YYC.

No, but it's Premium Long Haul, so gets better meals vs. the typical AC long haul spec.
