Dissolve ICBC and sell all ICBC owned land. Fully sell off BC Hydro. Ditto BC Housing. Etc...
Sell off provincially owned highways and/or add tolling.
Completely axe funding to social justice groups, NGO's and non-profits that rely on provincial funds.
Lay off government workers by the thousands. Mandate all public sector workers back into office to stimulate local economies.
Request the feds further open the doors to bring in more TFW's and immigrants. This would really boost up the economy and ensure wages remain supressed.

In theory you can always sell assets to pay for your day to day budget, doesn't make it a good idea though.
Imagine selling your house so you can take a longer vacation this summer. Might make sense if you were going to die in the near future, but governments don't die and ultimately selling off public assets just makes future generations have to pay more and have less public wealth to benefit from.
