Would you allow this (passports)?

Apologies if this is a silly question - I’m not familiar with the laws around this so wondering if anyone has experience and can advise: I’m British and live in the UK with DH and our DC. DH is a dual citizen (British/Canadian) as one of his parents was born in Canada. His parents are encouraging him to get Canadian passports for our DC (who are 5&8) - I believe this can be done quite easily, but as a spouse I wouldn’t qualify.

Would it be unwise to allow my children to apply for Canadian passports when I can’t get one? Our marriage is good and I’d like to give my kids the benefits of dual nationality, but if anything did go wrong between me and DH, presumably there’d be nothing stopping him from taking them there without me. He’s a good dad and I trust him (as much as I can trust any man!) but I’ve seen friends’ “good” husbands unexpectedly turn on them and do extreme things, so feel it’s wise to be cautious.

Are you even sure he can pass on Canadian citizenship? He was born in UK to Canadian parents and gets his right to Canadian citizenship from them, he's not born there.
