Flights in the 900s are mainline, so "Air Canada" is the correct callsign. Pretty much all rouge flights are 1500-1999, and those would have the callsign "Rouge".

If ATC is calling a 9xx flight "Rouge", they're wrong, probably just force of habit

But the AC pilots should be referring to themselves as "Air Canada 901" not "Rouge 901".
