Not really. They were poor arguments back then, and now they have mostly been abandoned even by the climate change deniers.

Yes.
Yes, for EVs to be fully emissionless they need to be powered from emission free electricity, and built from emission free factories. But that is possible, and is a problem that can be dealt with separately from the transport emission problem. If we stick with gas vehicles, they can never be made carbon neutral (except by direct air carbon capture).
And if you're in Canada, and especially Manitoba, there's a good chance you're not "moving the emissions elsewhere", even today.
