If I go to Canada can I retire there and draw SS from the US? Also can I go to Canada buy a cabin or house with a plot of land and not work? Unless I just needed some walking around money?

You can’t just move to Canada. You need to meet specific requirements to get a residence permit or be sponsored by family who already lives there.

If you wanna live there half time, a US passports entitles you to up to 180 days uninterrupted in Canada.

But you still can’t purchase property without a PR or citizenship (as of January 2023).

Edit: Okay, so non-citizens cannot buy residential property in census metropolitan areas or census agglomerations. A lot of rural areas are unaffected by the ban, including major tourist areas - Whistler, Banff, and Jasper.
