The Ontario Premier is a conservative. The Canadian Premier is a liberal.
The protests were mainly happening around the federal Parliament.
The rules they were trying to get repealed were largely provincial jurisdiction.

>Canada has a prime minister not a premier
I've heard it used both ways. I wasn't sure which was the correct usage in English.
But yeah the protest was largely just a "Fuck Trudeau" more than anything related to mandates. The various moving goalposts showed that they didn't really care if the outcome wasn't Trudeau looking bad. Nevermind that there was an election only months prior, so if the people didn't like how the Libs handled the pandemic they would have voted them out, but that's not what happened...
