Him or he?

With me being in Canada and him in England, there wasn't much I could do.

Is this correct? Or should I use he instead of him?

Hi, Use the object pronouns me / him . They are the objects of the preposition 'with'. If you want to make your speaking more formal, consider eg With my being in Canada and his being in England, there wasn't much I could do .
