It is possible, and is in fact the case, where we have Freedom of Speech as a charter right, and laws which limit that freedom, such as hate propaganda sections of the Criminal Code or various human right codes, which prohibits discriminatory speech. If the newspaper is printing racist jokes that are prohibited, then no, that is not protected speech. I haven't read the cartoon in question now, but it seems to me they are actually making fun of Russian politics and French aviation, so I don't see why that would be offside.
