my budget is 75 $ CA Maximum for both. My postal code is H1T1Z1
I can buy from these three sites:

The Logitech G5 is by far the best mouse you will get.

As for a keyboard. Couldn't tell you. I like really old keyboard from early computers. Beige, loud clicking. I don't like fancy looking keyboards, or keyboards with flat keys. It's a keyboard, what use does it have for gaming other than WASD.

It depends on how you hold your mouse. If you like to palm it then yeah buy a G5. But, if you're a real man and you finger your mouse then buy a razer. I've got a diamondback and I love it. Don't think I'll ever change.

As for a keyboard I just use whatever works but Razer's new Lycosa is kinda tempting...

Haha, real man. It can really go either way, I suggest you go to a local retail store and try some out, the new Razer Lachiese looks really comfy; though razer is known for its finger mouse. Even though I'm normally a palm user, I do dig the diamondback like eascarface does.

I'm posting this message within the first five minutes of using my new Razer Copperhead mouse and I'm not really in love with the feel of it. The best mouse I've used so far is my old Logitech mx518. It's wired, but it's really comfortable and accurate.

As far as keyboards go, I've found my Logitech experiences to be pretty unsatisfying, to the point where I replaced my wireless media keyboard from them with a crappy 12 dollar whatever brand keyboard

I've got an even older mx515 that I love. I'd go for wired mice as far as gaming, though the logitech g7 seems to be working good for yunk.

I still don't understand wireless mice and keyboards, you have to deal with batteries, and EMI and all kinds of crap.

I own a wireless mouse for my daily driver, but my gaming rig uses a painted (glossy black) cheapo optical mouse, and a A4tech keyboard. Tthe A shaped layout, which is actually pretty nice, i always used this for gamin because the stands don't fall down when excessive force is used.
All this talk of fingering mice, and going both ways, i like cheap stuff, 70$ mice aren't my thing.....

NCIX is another good Canadia e-tailer.
