        HI David,

        Its really hard to say that for having some internal pages with canonical pointing to the home page, this one might get removed from google. It should the other way around, pages with that canonical shouldn't be indexed.

        But, from what I'm reading, your issue is about traffic and that the homepage is not ranking well anymore, isn't it?
        If that's the case there should be many other potential issues that you could be facing. Without knowing your website its hard to fully assess that.

        There is a big chance that google is not seeing your page or content as relevant for the searches that you are searching or willing to rank. This is a completely different matter as actually having your page indexed and ready to rank on google searches.

        Did I answer your question?

        Hope it helps.
        Best luck.
        Gaston
