Golden Words is a weekly humor publication produced by students at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. Currently, it is the only humor weekly in Canada.[1] It has been published by the school's Engineering Society since 1967. [2] Along with the Queen's Journal, it is one of the two main student-run publications on campus, and boasts a circulation of 9,000.[3]

The paper's humor style is diverse, running the gamut from absurdist sketches and short stories to political satire and commentary on current events. Although Golden Words is associated with the Engineering Society, it is typical for most of the writers and editorial staff to be composed of Arts and Science students. Notable Golden Words alumni include humorist Jay Pinkerton and screenwriter Elan Mastai.
