The bottom line - your kids are American by accident of birth, and
Canadian by virtue of their father's birth. What does it mean? They
enjoy all the benefits of citizenship of the USA, and if they decide
that they want to move to Canada they simply move up there -
they don't have to apply for a visa or swim the river.

You are correct....other than it is prior to 1977 not 1978. But good advise.
