I'm not convinced that typical Canadians have the "uh uh uh" stutter, but it does seem like a good tactic to prevent others from interrupting while formulating a thought.
"Uh uh uh" is not his biggest fault, but it does interfere with his ability to communicate clearly - moreso than any issues with accent.
The clear diction in the accent makes him sound more eloquent than perhaps he truly is. It helps him though, by glossing over what he says. It's a smooth package around whatever message he may be delivering. It's like this: if the smartest person in the world has a Brooklyn accent, how seriously will anyone take him or her? Accents still indicate something about class and education, even nowadays, and unfortunately, people will jump to the conclusion that money + education = intelligence. Rightly or wrongly.
For reference: people remember the concepts(s) that is(are) most often repeated.
"uh, uh, uh, uh"
[bleep bleep bleep]
That's bamboozle, not communication.
