Well, dba didn't seem to work (i.e. John Smith dba ABC Company).  As dba
is an acceptable (and oft-used) synonym for o/a, I would hazard a guess
that o/a doesn't work either.

Bottom line, register it as a "Parternship" if you want an org name.  If
CIRA asks for proof, say "I own 99%, my dog owns the other 1%.  It is a
partnership, though we do not have papers drawn up to say so."  In
promotion of free enterprise, you do not have to have contracts signed to
form a partnership in Canada, so they can't argue that one.
