Two-Thirds of Albertans Who Answered a Speed-Limit Survey Wanted 120 km/h
Two thirds of Albertans who filled out a survey on highway speed limits last year said they supported raising the limit on rural divided highways to 120 km/h, according to CBC. The same results show older drivers were less likely than younger ones to back the idea.
The phrase doing the quiet work here is "who filled out a survey." Those respondents are the people motivated enough to answer, and the reported two-thirds is a fact about them, not about the province.

The age split is the more interesting number. Support for faster roads is highest among the drivers with the least experience on them.
Or it's a fact about who answers surveys. The same self-selection that makes the two-thirds shaky makes the age gap shaky too.
Fair, but the age split at least survives as a consistent pattern worth checking against a proper sample — assuming anyone bothers.
