OK, change is_home() to is_front_page() and try this:

if ( ! is_page_template( 'template-blank-canvas.php' ) ) {
    if ( is_front_page() ) {
        echo '<header class="main-header" style="height: 500px;">
        <p>testing: some text here</p>
        </header>
        <div class="container clearfix">';
    } else {
        trusted_header_title();
    }
}

and let me know if you see testing: some text here on the home page.
