Ford's tweet said "Stay alert, walk tall, carry mace, take self-defence classes & don't dress like a whore." Katherine Dunn, in her coverage in the "Toronto Star",  pointed out that Toronto Police consider mace a  "prohibited and restricted weapon". Several press reports compared Ford's comment to those of Michael Sanguinetti, a Toronto area police officer, whose widely criticized safety suggestion to college students was "women should avoid dressing like sluts not to be victimized", triggered the worldwide SlutWalk phenomenon. On April 8, 2014, hoaxsters created a Facebook page advertising a fund-raising draw that would give entrants a chance to "win a date with the mayor's beautiful niece, Krista Ford". Krista's father denounced the hoaxsters as cowards, stating:  On September 12, 2014, not long after her uncle Rob learned he had cancer, and dropped out of the mayoralty race, Mike Strobel, a "Toronto Sun" columnist, speculated that members of Ontario's Provincial Parliament should worry that Krista, or one of her sisters, might run against them. In 2015, Krista became engaged to Dave Haynes, a local police officer and bodybuilder.
